Candidate gene
Marker
  • PCDH17 methylation may be a tumor-specific event and can be used as an epigenetic biomarker for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC)
  • PCDH17 methylation in serum is a frequent event in Renal Cell Carcinoma and associated with risk factors of poor outcomes
  • PCDH17 methylation at diagnosis was closely related to poor prognosis and thus could be used as a new biomarker to predict relapse in patients with B-cell precursor (BCP) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)
  • detection of PCDH17 promoter methylation in serum-derived DNA may be a convenient and noninvasive predictive biomarker in routine clinical practice
  • Therapy target
