Several studies have demonstrated promoter methylation of DAPK1 in different types of cancer such as renal [15] and cervical cancer [16], B cell lymphoma [17], myelodysplastic syndrome, acute myeloblastic leukemia [18], and chronic myeloid leukemia [19–21]. Here, DAPK1 is linked to chronic myelogenous leukemia, BCR-ABL1 positive.
