CTCFL and ovarian carcinoma: Hypomethylation induced abnormal expression of several oncogenes such as CLDN4 (encodes an integral component of tight junctions) (Honda et al., 2006; Litkouhi et al., 2007), MAL (mal, T-cell differentiation protein) (Lee et al., 2010), BORIS (a cancer testis antigen family candidate oncogenes) (Woloszynska-Read et al., 2007), and IGF2 (an imprinted gene involved in other malignancies) (Murphy et al., 2006) has been demonstrated in ovarian carcinomas.
