Two important findings were, first, that several genes known to be frequently hypermethylated in prostate cancer were apparent, and, second, that validation studies revealed eight novel genes hypermethylated in the prostate tumor cell lines, four of which were unmethylated in normal prostate cells and hypermethylated in primary prostate tumors (SLC15A3, 66%; KRT7, 54%; TACSTD2, 17%; GADD45b, 3%).
