“…The tumor suppressor genes p16/MTS1 , DLC1, CDH4, IGFBP-6 and DAB2 show homozygous deletions or reduced expression in NPC tissue (Lo et al , 1995; Sun et al , 1995; Kuo et al , 2010; Tong et al , 2010; Du et al , 2011; Low et al , 2011). Over-expression of the MYC , RAS, EZH2, FGF8b oncogenes has also been detected in some NPC tumors (Porter et al , 1994; Lu et al , 2011; Lui et al , 2011). Furthermore, loss of heterozygosity (LOH) studies have shown that NPC tumors contain deletions on chromosomal arms that include 3p, 9p and 11q (Huang et al , 1994; Hu et al , 1996; Hui et al , 1996).…”
