High meningioma 1 (MN1) expression as a predictor for poor outcome in acute myeloid leukemia with normal cytogenetics
16 Aug 2006
Abstract excerpt
The translocation t(12;22) involves MN1 and TEL and is rarely found in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Recently, it has been shown in a mouse model that the fusion protein MN1-TEL can promote growth of primitive hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) and, in cooperation with HOXA9, induce AML. We quantified MN1 expression by real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in 142 adult patients...
