Tumor suppressor gene inactivation in myeloid malignancies.

Abstract excerpt

Our molecular understanding of the how tumor suppressor gene (TSG) abnormalities contribute to myeloid malignancies is relatively limited. While the NF1 and TP53 TSGs follow the Knudson two-hit paradigm and undergo biallelic inactivation, there is increasing evidence that inactivation of a single allele of TSG such as RUNX1, PU.1 and RPS14 (haploinsufficiency) can also contribute to leukemogenesis.
