Subsequently, we investigated the methylation status of the genes Ran-binding protein 3 (RANBP3), Lymphocyte cytoplasmic protein 2 (LCP2), and GRB2 related adaptor protein 2 (GRAP2), situated at the specified sites, using cancer and canceradjacent tissues from 17 breast cancer patients. This evidence concerns the gene GRAP2 and breast cancer.
