CpG islands in complement - (Apr/18/2005 )

Hi everybody,
I am trying to find a CpG island in the promter region and exons of a gene. This question may be too simple for many. I apologize in advance. If I use the sequence I have there is no CPG island. But if I check for CpG islands in the complement there are 6 CpG islands. How do I interpret this finding?
Thank you very much.

would you be able to send the sequence to the board for us to have a look? sounds perplexing.
