Aberrant methylation of DAP-kinase in therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes
23 Sept 2003
Abstract excerpt
Death-associated protein kinase (DAP-kinase), a proapoptotic serine/threonine kinase, is a candidate tumor suppressor gene. We studied the methylation status of DAP-kinase of 194 bone marrow samples from 160 patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and 34 with a myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) at the time of initial diagnosis by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Hypermethylation of DAP-kinase was present in 27.5%...
