TWIST2 Demonstrates Differential Methylation in Immunoglobulin Variable Heavy Chain Mutated and Unmutated Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
5 Apr 2005
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a clinically heterogeneous disease for which natural history can be predicted based on the presence or absence of immunoglobulin (Ig) variable heavy chain (V(H)) gene mutations. Herein we report selective epigenetic silencing of the transcription factor TWIST2 (DERMO1) in Ig V(H) mutated CLL and describe a semiquantitative assay to study promoter methylation of this...
