Abstract excerpt
The French-American-British (FAB) classification and the new World Health Organization (WHO) classification distinguish acute monoblastic leukaemia (AML M5a) from acute monocytic leukaemia (AML M5b). Not much is known about the underlying genetic differences leading to these clearly different phenotypes. We analysed 58 patients with de novo AML M5a and 66 patients with de novo AML M5b in comparison with a whole...
