Biological and clinical relevance of quantitative global methylation of repetitive DNA sequences in chronic lymphocytic leukemia
1 Feb 2011
Abstract excerpt
Global DNA hypomethylation affecting repeat sequences has been reported in different cancer types. Herein, we investigated the methylation levels of repetitive DNA elements in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), their correlation with the major cytogenetic and molecular features, and clinical relevance in predicting therapy-free survival (TFS). A quantitative bisulfite-PCR Pyrosequencing method was used to...
