Résumé

Aim: To examine whether peripheral blood methylation is associated with risk of developing mature B-cell neoplasms (MBCNs). Materials and methods: We conducted a case-control study nested within a large prospective cohort. Peripheral blood was collected from healthy participants. Cases of MBCN were identified by linkage to cancer registries. Methylation was measured using the Infinium® HumanMethylation450. Results: During a median of 10.6-year follow-up, 438 MBCN cases were evaluated. Global hypomethylation was associated with increased risk of MBCN (odds ratio: 2.27, [95% CI: 1.59-3.25]). Within high CpG promoter regions, hypermethylation was associated with increased risk (odds ratio: 1.76 [95% CI: 1.25-2.48]). Promoter hypermethylation was observed in HOXA9 and CDH1 genes. Conclusion: Aberrant global DNA methylation is detectable in peripheral blood collected years before diagnosis and is associated with increased risk of MBCN, suggesting changes to DNA methylation are an early event in MBCN development.
