downregulated by promoter hypermethylation and histone hypoacetylation in epithelial ovarian cancer
tumoral     --low  
or silenced in most colorectal and gastric cell lines due to promoter methylation, whereas broadly expressed in normal tissues including colon and stomach, and unmethylated in expressing cell lines and immortalised normal colon epithelial cells
tumoral     --low  
by promoter hypermethylation and histone deacetylation may be important in nasopharyngeal carcinoma tumorigenesis
tumoral     --low  
by promoter methylation, associated with poor prognosis in non-small cell lung carcinoma
