Abstract excerpt
The clinical significance and mechanisms of TET2 are not well defined in myeloid malignancies. We detected TET2 mutations and assayed its catalyzing conversion product 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC) in 61 Chinese patients with MDS. Ten patients were identified to have TET2 mutations (16.4%). 5-hmC levels in patients with MDS with TET2 mutations were significantly lower than in those without mutations, and CD34+...
