Promoter hypermethylation of CDH13, DAPK1 and TWIST1 genes in precancerous and cancerous lesions of the uterine cervix

Hypermethylation of CDH13, DAPK1, and TWIST1 promoters is an early event in the initiation and progression of cervix neoplasia. CDH13, DAPK1, and TWIST1 genes are potential biomarkers of cervical cancer risk.
