Comprehensive Scanning of Somatic Mitochondrial DNA Alterations in Acute Leukemia Developing from Myelodysplastic Syndromes
15 Mar 2004
Abstract excerpt
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are clonal myeloid disorders characterized by ineffective hematopoiesis resulting in refractory cytopenias. Transformation resulting in acute myeloblastic leukemia is the final stage in the multistep process of MDS evolution. Functional relevant mutations of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) have been related to sideroblastic anemia and MDS. To investigate the role of mtDNA in malignant...
