Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Nucleophosmin (NPM1) gene mutations, which cause aberrant cytoplasmic expression of nucleophosmin (NPMc+), are the most frequent genetic alteration in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), being found in about 30% cases. The present review summarizes recent advances in the biology, diagnosis, prognosis and therapy of NPM1-mutated AML. RECENT FINDINGS: Diagnostic criteria of NPM1-mutated AML are...
