AIM: To illustrate the expression of hypermethylation p15 gene in 53 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL). METHODS: The methylation of p15 gene in 53 cases of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma was detected by using methylation-specific PCR (MSP) technique. RESULTS: 18.9% (10/53) in NHL were methylation in p15 gene. p15 gene was frequently in high malignant NHL patients (27.3%) compared with in low malignant patients (0%). CONCLUSION: The result suggested that the hypermethylation of p15 may play an important role in non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
