Global DNA methylation study of trisomy 8 AML

We report the application of methylated DNA immunoprecipitation followed by next-generation sequencing to trisomy 8 AML. Through a global study and quantifying the methylation signals, we demonstrated a characteristic DNA methylation distribution for trisomy 8 indicating the impact of the hypermethylation of the extrachromosome 8 on suppressing the signals on the rest of the chromosomes. Overall design: Examination of 3 relapse trisomy 8 AML patients
