DNA methylation for subtype classification and prediction of treatment outcome in patients with childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia
26 Nov 2009
Abstract excerpt
Despite improvements in the prognosis of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), subgroups of patients would benefit from alternative treatment approaches. Our aim was to identify genes with DNA methylation profiles that could identify such groups. We determined the methylation levels of 1320 CpG sites in regulatory regions of 416 genes in cells from 401 children diagnosed with ALL. Hierarchical clustering...
