Promoter methylation of tumor suppressor genes and microRNAs engaged in TP53 network in acute promyelocytic leukemia

Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is one of the subtypes of acute myeloid leukemia carrying t(15;17), and constitutes 10 to 15% of adult AMLs. One of the mechanisms of gene inactivation is hypermethylation of promoter-associated CpG islands. Cancers are characterized by global hypomethylation with...
