25 Oct 2005
Abstract excerpt
Ninety consecutive patients with acute promyelocytic leukaemia were investigated for promoter methylation of CDKN2B (alias p15) and CDKN2A (alias p16) in disease relapse and progression. CDKN2B methylation was significantly more frequent at first relapse (30/36, 83%) than at presentation (48/77, 62%) (P=0.025), while CDKN2A methylation appeared unaffected. Both acquisition and loss of CDKN2B methylation happened...
