Abstract excerpt
Epigenetic changes, including abnormal DNA methylation, have been identified to play significant roles in tumor initiation and progression. Recently, mutations of DNMT3A were identified in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), which possibly caused changes in DNA methylation, and indicated a poor prognosis. Sequencing analysis showed that most of the mutations were single nucleotide variations, including a hotspot...
