Expression of the runt homology domain of RUNX1 disrupts homeostasis of hematopoietic stem cells and induces progression to myelodysplastic syndrome
24 Aug 2012
Abstract excerpt
Mutations of RUNX1 are detected in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). In particular, C-terminal truncation mutations lack a transcription regulatory domain and have increased DNA binding through the runt homology domain. The expression of the runt homology domain, RUNX1(41-214), in mouse hematopoietic cells induced progression to MDS and acute myeloid leukemia. Analysis of premyelodysplastic animals...
