Promoter Methylation in MLL-Rearranged Childhood AML
OBJECTIVES:
- To determine whether the pattern of global and TSG-specific promoter CpG island
hypermethylation and gene silencing that we have shown characterizes MLL-rearranged
(MLL-r) infant bilineage ALL is also characteristic of other subsets of MLL-r leukemia.
OUTLINE: Previously collected cryopreserved cells from diagnosis are analyzed for promoter
methylation via HELP arrays, gene expression arrays, and RT-qPCR.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 32 samples (8 from each of 4 biologically defined cohorts)
will be analyzed.
Observational
N/A
Identification of differential patterns of promoter hypermethylation and gene expression in pairwise comparisons with other cohorts and normal controls
