| Research Abstract |
In this study, we observed aberrant hypomethylation of LINE-1 and other repeated sequences in multiple myeloma, its association with genomic deletion, andthe association between hypomethylation and poor prognosis. In addition, it was indicated that LINE-1 sequences are dense in the commonly deleted legion and also usefulness of MBD-sequencing. We reported these results in Genome Medicine 2012;4:101. Our study suggested the potential of LINE-1 targeting strategy in clinical situation.
