Abstract excerpt
Two GATA1-related leukemias have been described: one is an erythroleukemia that develops in mice as a consequence of diminished expression of wild-type GATA1, whereas the other is an acute megakaryoblastic leukemia (AMKL) that arises in Down syndrome children as a consequence of somatic N-terminal truncation (DeltaNT) of GATA1. We discovered that mice expressing the shortened GATA1 protein (DeltaNTR mice)...
