Abstract excerpt
Mutations in NF1, PTPN11, NRAS, KRAS and CBL have been reported to play a pathogenetic role in juvenile myelomonocytic leukaemia (JMML), a rare myelodyplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasm occurring in children. Recently, mutations in ASXL1 were identified in chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia and other myeloid malignancies. We sequenced exon 12 of ASLX1 in 49 JMML patients, and found 2 novel heterozygous (nonsense...
