Down-regulation of EVI1 is associated with epigenetic alterations and good prognosis in patients with acute myeloid leukemia
12 Jul 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The EVI1 gene (3q26) codes for a zinc finger transcription factor with important roles in both mammalian development and leukemogenesis. Over-expression of EVI1 through either 3q26 rearrangements, MLL fusions, or other unknown mechanisms confers a poor prognosis in acute myeloid leukemia. DESIGN AND METHODS: We analyzed the prevalence and prognostic impact of EVI1 over-expression in a series of 476...
