Abstract

The article investigates the potential of DNA methylation to alter Hox gene expression in leukemia. Hox genes are involved in leukemia-associated translocations and aberrant expression of Hox genes is a common event in leukemogenesis. Overexpression of multiple Hox genes has been identified in both lymphoid and myeloid malignancies.
