Abstract excerpt
The abnormalities of SALL4 gene, which encodes a zinc-finger transcription factor and is essential for developmental events, have been found to be involved in tumorigenesis. In this study, we investigated the methylation status of the CpG island of SALL4 promoter region in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) using methylation-specific PCR (MSP). Aberrant hypomethylation of SALL4 gene was found in 21.7% (18/83) of the...
