Abstract excerpt
SUMMARY: Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is caused by acquired somatic mutations in haemopoietic progenitors. Understanding of the genetic basis of the disease has greatly benefited from the use of DNA sequencing to identify novel disease alleles. Chromosomal aberrations are known to drive AML and are the mainstay of risk classification. Mutations in FLT3, NPM1, and CEBPA provide prognostic information and have...
