Genome-wide DNA methylation profiling predicts relapse in childhood B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Although the 5-year survival of childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) exceeds 80%, a group of patients presents poor prognosis due to early relapse. To date, treatment strategies are defined by cytogenetically-based subtype categorization. However, ALL patients without chromosomal translocations associated with poor prognosis lack diagnostic markers to adjust specific therapies. DNA methylation alteration is a frequent event in cancer with high potential in diagnosis, prognosis and prediction of drug response. Hence, we aimed to characterize childhood B-ALLs without Philadelphia (BCR-ABL) and MLL translocations based on their DNA methylation profile of more than 450,000 CpG sites to improve accuracy in prognosis and treatment strategies.
