Abstract

Aberrant DNA methylation is a hallmark of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Various studies showed that t(8;21) AML presented a distinct DNA methylation profile and could be categorized into a separate cluster according to DNA methylation sequencing. Yet, there is still a lack of understanding regarding the causes and mechanisms of this phenomenon. Knowing how the DNA methylation is regulated in t(8;21) AML would enhance our understanding of leukemogenesis and may assist clinical decision-making regarding DNA methylation-targeted therapy. Herein, we summarized our current knowledge concerning DNA methylation regulation in t(8;21) AML and discussed their potential clinical significance in this article.
