Frequent and Simultaneous Epigenetic Inactivation of TP53 Pathway Genes in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
28 Feb 2011
Abstract excerpt
Aberrant DNA methylation is one of the most frequent alterations in patients with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). Using methylation bead arrays we analyzed the methylation status of 807 genes implicated in cancer in a group of ALL samples at diagnosis (n = 48). We found that 154 genes were methylated in more than 10% of ALL samples. Interestingly, the expression of 13 genes implicated in the TP53 pathway was...
