Abstrakt: The article presents a study which aims to assess DNA methylation in GADD45A in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and co-occurrence with other mutations. The study used polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Sequenom MassARRAY on bisulphite converted genomic DNA to determine GADD45A CpG1-4 methylation frequency. Results reveal that poor overall survival in AML was predicted in GADD45A methylation and G45Ame ability to predict poor outcome was independent of IDH1/2 and DNMT3A mutation.
