An international study between the Imprinting and Cancer Group within the Cancer Epigenetics and Biology Program (PEBC) and the Institute of Human Genetics, at Christian-Albrechts University, Kiel, Germany, describe a methylation signature that is a promising marker for classifying myeloid-derived leukemias. Gene Wilms tumor 1 (WT1) is over-expressed in numerous cancers with respect to normal […]

The Genes and Cancer Group at the Cancer Epigenetics and Biology Program of the IDIBELL has found that the MAX gene, which encodes a partner of the MYC oncogene, is genetically inactivated in small cell lung cancer. Reconstitution of MAX significantly reduced cell growth in the MAX-deficient cancer cell lines. These findings show that MAX
