Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this article is to show the expression and methylation levels of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)genes in patients diagnosed with childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and their relationship with clinical findings.
