Correlation between expression of cellular retinol-binding protein 1 and its methylation status in larynx cancer

Abstract

An early event of larynx cancer could be CRBP1 expression related to unmethylation of the promoter region. These features could also be associated with good response and survival. The authors hypothesised that increased expression and unmethylated promoter of the CRBP1 gene could be considered as markers for larynx cancer.
