Bisulfite sequencing of the IGSF4 promoter region. The IGSF4 promoter region (559 bp, 52 CpG sites) was sequenced after bisulfite conversion of DNA in two cell lines and selected AML patients. CpGs are represented as open dots (unmethylated) or filled dots (methylated). In MLL wt AML patients and in the MLL wt cell line U-937 clones with CpG methylation next to the transcriptional start site (TSS) were detected whereas no methylation was detectable in the MLL mu patient analyzed and in the MLL mu cell line THP-1. Note that CpG sites analyzed by the MS-MLPA probe (green) and MSP primers (red) are not identical.
