DNA Hypermethylation of Myeloid Cells, A Novel Therapeutic Target in MDS and AML
27 Sept 2006
Abstract excerpt
Differential methylation of CpG islands is a regulatory mechanism for promoter activity of different classes of genes, including tissue-specific genes. These CpG islands are targets for transformation-associated, aberrant hypermethylation activity during leukemogenesis. Therefore the pharmacological reversion of this methylator phenotype (e.g. by reactivation of tumor suppressor gene expression) is an important...
