Abstract excerpt
Overexpression, polymorphisms, and mutations of the WT1 gene have been reported in several human tumors including acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and variably correlated with prognosis. Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) represents the AML subset disclosing higher WT1 expression levels; however, no WT1 studies specifically focused on APL have been conducted. We screened for the presence of mutations, SNP rs16754,...
