WWC1 and neuroblastoma: In vitro promoter methylation analysis using human neuroblastoma (SH-SY5Y) and immortalized kidney cells (IHKE) revealed that total promoter methylation by CpG methyltransferase SssI resulted in complete abrogation of transcriptional activity (p < 0.001), while partial methylation by HpaII selectively repressed KIBRA core promoter activity in kidney cells (p < 0.001).
