Methylation of p15 and p16 Genes in Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia: Potential Diagnostic and Prognostic Significance
1 Apr 2001
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To investigate the frequency of p15 and p16 gene promoter methylation in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), and to define its value in the detection of minimal residual disease (MRD) and treatment prognostication. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Bone marrow DNA obtained from 26 patients with APL at diagnosis and during follow-up was studied with the methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction (MS-PCR). Serial...
