The propensity of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) to transform into acute myeloid leukemia (AML) suggests the existence of common pathogenic components for these malignancies. Here, four genes implicated in the development of AML were examined for promoter CpG island hypermethylation in cells from 37 patients with different stages of MDS. Aberrant methylation was detected by polymerase chain reaction amplification of bisulfite-treated DNA followed by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis. The highest rate of methylation was found for p15(INK4B) (51%), followed by HIC1 (32%), CDH1 (27%), and ER (19%). Concurrent hypermethylation of >= 3 genes was more frequent in advanced compared with early-stage MDS (P = 1 genes was an independent negative prognostic factor (P < 0.05). These data suggest that hypermethylation of p15(INK4B), HIC1, CDH1, and ER contribute to the development and outcome of MDS.
