摘要
The Ataxia-telangiectasia-mutated (ATM) gene product is a well-characterized tumor suppressor that plays a key role in maintenance of genomic stability. We have recently documented that the ATM promoter is a target for epigenetic silencing in cultured tumor cells. Here we show that aberrant methylation of the ATM promoter occurs in a significant percentage (25%) of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas. The presence or methylated ATM promoter shows a statistically significant correlation with an earlier age of initial diagnosis and decreased overall survival, particularly in early-stage tumors. These findings indicate that ATM promoter hypermethylation occurs in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, and this feature is a potentially useful prognostic marker in this tumor type.
