Chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients with heterogeneously or fully methylated LPL promotor display longer time to treatment
We investigated whether DNA methylation regulates expression of LPL and PI3K complex genes in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and evaluated the prognostic significance of LPL promoter methylation in CLL patients. Patients & methods: Methylation of LPL promoter was assessed in 112 patients usi...

Zusammenfassung: | We investigated whether DNA methylation regulates expression of LPL and PI3K complex genes in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and evaluated the prognostic significance of LPL promoter methylation in CLL patients. Patients & methods: Methylation of LPL promoter was assessed in 112 patients using methylation-sensitive high-resolution melting (MS-HRM).
Patients with a fully or heterogeneously methylated LPL promoter had significantly longer median time to treatment (p |
