GFOD3P and plasma cell myeloma: In multiple myeloma (MM) cells, the methylation of promoter-associated CpG islands triggered downregulation of KIAA0495, a lncRNA transcribed from chromosome 1p36 [32]; CpG island hypermethylation also downregulated the KIAA0495/p53-dependent apoptotic modulator PDAM, which in turn established a drug resistant phenotype in glioma cells [33].
