ABERRANT PROMOTER HYPERMETHYLATION OF SELECTED APOPTOTIC GENES IN CHILDHOOD ACUTE LYMPHOBLASTIC LEUKEMIA AMONG NORTH INDIAN POPULATION
22 Mar 2017
Abstract excerpt
Promoter hypermethylation mediates gene silencing in many neoplasms. Acute leukemia has been reported to harbor multiple genes aberrantly silenced by hypermethylation. AIM: In present study, we investigated the prevalence of hypermethylation of caspase-8 (CASP8), TMS1 and DAPK genes in correlation with clinicopathological factors in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). MATERIALS AND METHODS: A...
