[To determine the frequency and timing of hypermethylation during carcinogenesis of astrocytic tumors, we analysed promoter methylation status of ten tumor-associated genes (MGMT, GSTP1, DAPK, p14ARF, THBS1, TIMP-3, p73, p16INK4A, RB1 and TP53) in a series of 88 astrocytic gliomas, including 24 diffuse astrocytomas; 21 anaplastic astrocytomas, and 43 glioblastomas (33 primary and 10 secondary), as well as two non-neoplastic brain samples, by methylation-specific PCR.].
