AML1/RUNX1 point mutation possibly promotes leukemic transformation in myeloproliferative neoplasms
22 Oct 2009
Abstract excerpt
Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are clonal hematopoietic stem cell disorders characterized by proliferation of one or more myeloid cell lineages. Some patients exhibit leukemic transformation (LT) by unknown mechanisms, and chemotherapy may increase the risk of LT. To clarify the molecular mechanisms of LT, gene alterations involved in LT from patients in the chronic phase (CP) of MPNs were identified. Among...
