Abstract excerpt
Although NPM1 gene mutations leading to aberrant cytoplasmic expression of nucleophosmin (NPMc(+)) are the most frequent genetic lesions in acute myeloid leukemia, there is yet no experimental model demonstrating their oncogenicity in vivo. We report the generation and characterization of a transgenic mouse model expressing the most frequent human NPMc(+) mutation driven by the myeloid-specific human MRP8...
