چکیده

Background: Epigenetic changes in cancer cells have an immense effect on tumorigenesis. As a tumor suppressor and an epigenetic regulator, liver kinase B1 (LKB1) reduces gene methylation by downregulating metabolic pathways such as the serine-glycine pathway. This study seeks to examine the gene expression levels of serine hydroxymethyltransferase 1 (SHMT1) and glycine ...
