Aberrant DNA methylation patterns play an important role in the pathogenesis of hematologic malignancies. The DNA methyltransferase inhibitors azacytidine and decitabine have shown significant clinical benefits in the treatment of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), but their precise mode of action remains to be established.
