Abstract excerpt
Transcription factor CCAAT/enhancer binding protein alpha (C/EBPalpha) is mutated in 6-10% of patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). Recently, we reported the emergence of an N-terminal C/EBPalpha mutation after chemotherapy in a patient with secondary AML. The clone carrying the mutation became the dominant clone at relapse. This observation prompted us to compare the C/EBPalpha mutational status of 26 de...
