Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The Wnt/β;-catenin signaling pathway is important in the pathogenesis of hematological malignancies. Wnt inhibitory factor-1 (WIF-1) is a negative regulator of Wnt signaling that is frequently downregulated by hypermethylation of the WIF-1 promoter in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) and other malignancies. On the other hand, an acquired mutation in JAK2 tyrosine kinase involving a V617F amino-acid...
