Abstract:The active DNA demethylation process may be linked with aberrant methylation and may be involved in leukemogenesis.

We analyzed the levels of 5-methyl-2′-deoxycytidine (5-mdC) oxidation products in the cellular DNA and urine of children with ALL (at diagnosis and after completion of chemotherapy, n=55) using two-dimensional ultra-performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (… Show more
