Paradoxically, the mean level of methylation for HOXA9 was lower in HG compared to their low/intermediate-grade counterparts, again approaching significance (29.3%vs 44.0%, p = 0.057) ( Table 2 ).

This increase approached significance for ISL1 (22.1% vs 36.5%, p = 0.061).
Furthermore, and as previously described[ 9 , 13 ], concurrent methylation in HOXA9 and ISL1 was associated with DSM and reduced overall survival, however, this did not reach statistical significance.
