Abstract excerpt
Juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) is a malignant disease of early childhood characterized by a hypersensitivity to granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). Mutations in RAS or PTPN11 are frequently detected in JMML patients. The SH2-containing inositol 5-phosphatase 1 (SHIP-1) is a negative regulator of GM-CSF signaling, and inactivation of SHIP-1 in mice results in a myeloproliferative...
