Abstract excerpt
Juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) is a malignant hematopoietic disorder whose proliferative component is a result of RAS pathway deregulation caused by somatic mutation in the RAS or PTPN11 oncogenes or in patients with underlying neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1), by loss of NF1 gene function. To search for potential collaborating genetic abnormalities, we used oligonucleotide arrays to analyse over 116 000...
