Example sentences for: methylation

How can you use “methylation” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

CDH1 gene by promoter methylation plays a major role in CC tumorigenesis.
MGMT gene encodes O(6)-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase and this enzyme effectively removes DNA adducts formed by alkylating agents [ 33 ] . Epigenetic gene silencing of MGMT confers enhanced sensitivity to alkylating-based chemotherapy, and lack of methylation associates with failure to respond to chemotherapy [ 34 35 ] . On the contrary, all patients that had MGMT promoter methylation were dead within 21 months of initial diagnosis, which predicts a poor prognosis.
To examine the biological role of promoter hypermethylation in GCT, we assessed the levels of gene expression by semi-quantitative RT-PCR in 23 tumors (15 NSGCTs and 8 SGCTs) with known methylation status.
Thus, our results suggest that loss of expression occurs in CC cell lines by mechanism other than complete promoter methylation.
CDH1 is the most commonly methylated gene in the present study showing promoter methylation in 51.
