Frequent Inactivation of PTEN by Promoter Hypermethylation in Microsatellite Instability-High Sporadic Colorectal Cancers

TL;DR: The first demonstration of PTEN inactivation as a result of promoter hypermethylation in MSI-H sporadic CRCs is demonstrated, suggesting that PTEN is an additional important "target" of methylation along with the hMLH1 gene in the evolution of MSI- H CRCs and also confers the "second hit" in the biallelic inactivation mechanism for some proportion of tumors.
