Abstract excerpt
Activating ras mutations are frequent (25-60%) in chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) and in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) (30%), in contrast to chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in which the incidence is very low (0-3%). This might reflect that the leukemic cell in CML is at a level of differentiation in which ras gene activation is not involved or, alternatively, might be due to the presence in CML of the...
