Abstract

DNA methylation, a crucial biochemical process within the human body, fundamentally alters gene expression without modifying the DNA sequence, resulting in stable changes. The changes in DNA methylation are closely related to numerous biological processes including cellular proliferation and differentiation, embryonic development, and the occurrence of immune diseases and tumor. Specifically, abnormal DNA methylation plays a crucial role in the formation, progression, and prognosis of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Moreover, DNA methylation offers substantial potential for diagnosing and treating CML. Accordingly, understanding the precise mechanism of DNA methylation, particularly abnormal changes in the methylation of specific genes in CML, can potentially promote the development of novel targeted therapeutic strategies. Such strategies could transform into clinical practice, effectively aiding diagnosis and treatment of CML patients.
