Methylation profile was analyzed in ninety-five patients with childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Methylation of both MGMT and p16 genes were associated with higher age (p=0.01 and p=0.03, respectively). Methylation of both p15 and SHP1 genes occurred more frequently in T-ALL than in precursor B-ALL (p=0.02 and p=0.01, respectively). In contrast, methylation of the DAPK gene was more frequent in precursor B-ALL (p=0.01). Patients with methylation of multiple genes more likely had T cell phenotype, and are classified as medium/high risk (p=0.004 and p=0.03, respectively). These results suggest that methylation status is associated with clinicopathological features in childhood ALL.

D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.

D015254 DNA Modification Methylases Enzymes that are part of the restriction-modification systems. They are responsible for producing a species-characteristic methylation pattern, on either adenine or cytosine residues, in a specific short base sequence in the host cell's own DNA. This methylated sequence will occur many times in the host-cell DNA and remain intact for the lifetime of the cell. Any DNA from another species which gains entry into a living cell and lacks the characteristic methylation pattern will be recognized by the restriction endonucleases of similar specificity and destroyed by cleavage. Most have been studied in bacterial systems, but a few have been found in eukaryotic organisms.
