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...

Male infertility arises as a global public health in the context of the dramatic decrease in birth rates, within a complex picture of hormonal, genetic and epigenetic factors. However, the underlying causes of male infertility remain unknown in many cases. Our study included samples (n = 82, median: 34 years, range 20–55 years) obtained from men investigating couple infertility and from a normal control group (n = 11, median: 29 years, range 21–55 y...
