Introduction: In human cancer cells DNMTs are responsible for both de novo and maintenance methylation of tumor suppressor genes. Many studies have analyzed the relationship between the altered expression of DNMT1 and DNA methylation in cancer.Aim: To analyze DNMT1 expression in thyroid papillary carcinoma.Design: 49 patients aged 10–82 years hospitalized for thyroidectomy were included between January 2013 and July 2...
