| Research Abstract |
We studied the role of DNA methylation in development of EBV-associated carcinomas. Several tumor-related genes were methylated in EBV-associated carcinomas. We newly identified 7 genes which are methylated in EBV-associated gastric carcinomas. There are several tumor suppresser genes and tumor associated antigens. Based on these results, we concluded that DNA methylation had an important role for developing EBV-associated gastric carcinomas.
