چکیده

Background: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most prevalent hematologic malignancy among children. DNA methylation is well known to play a role in the initiation and progression of cancer. This research aimed to characterize the epigenetic inactivation and gene expression of Protocadherin-10 (PCDH10) and Reprimo (RPRM) in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia, ...
