Gene names Related pathway Findings in CLL Ref. LPL Statin inhibition of cholesterol production; familial hyperlipidemia type 1 pathways Prognostic marker in CLL gene promoter methylation was associated with IGVH-mutated cases and longer time to treatment [14 , 163 , 164 ] ABI3 Possible interaction with p21activated kinase inhibits ectopic metastasis of tumor cells Gene promoter and gene body were frequently methylated in IGVH-unmutated CLL [14 , 26 , 165 ] CRY1 Melatonin metabolism Higher mRNA expression was detected in the IGVH-unmutated subgroup; treatment initiation was significantly more frequent among patients with high expression of CRY1; high expression was significantly associated with shorter intervals to first treatment [98 , 153 , 154 ] SCGB2A1 Androgen receptor signaling pathway Methylated gene body status was reported in IGVH-unmutated cases [26 , 166 ] GATA5 Cooperative activation of the intestinal lactase-phlorizin hydrolase promoter response to elevated platelet cytosolic Ca2+ GATA 5 promoter hypermethylation was detected in 35.1% of the cases [51 , 167 ] DNTT MYC transcriptional repression DNA-PK pathway Methylated DNTT gene body was described in IGVH-mutated samples [26 , 168 , 169 ] SHANK1 Protein-protein interactions at synapses; transmission across chemical synapses A specific CpG region of the SHANK1 body (hg19) was reported to be hypermethylated when compared to control sample methylation in the same. CpG was detectable in blood samples collected years before CLL diagnosis [170 ] SYN2 Neurotransmitter release cycle; transmission across chemical synapses SYN2 expression was demonstrated to be reduced in patients with hypermethylated promoter regions and hypomethylated body regions [37 , 171 ]
