Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: WT1 is aberrantly over-expressed in most cases of AML. We recently demonstrated that WT1 SNP rs16754 correlates with favorable outcome and high diagnostic WT1 expression in childhood AML. We examined the clinical correlates of diagnostic WT1 expression within a contemporary COG trial and determined whether its prognostic impact differs between SNP+ and SNP- patients. PROCEDURE: WT1 mRNA expression was...
