Targeted correction of RUNX1 mutation in FPD patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cells rescues megakaryopoietic defects
12 Aug 2014
Abstract excerpt
Familial platelet disorder with predisposition to acute myeloid leukemia (FPD/AML) is an autosomal dominant disease of the hematopoietic system that is caused by heterozygous mutations in RUNX1. FPD/AML patients have a bleeding disorder characterized by thrombocytopenia with reduced platelet numbers and functions, and a tendency to develop AML. No suitable animal models exist for FPD/AML, as Runx11/2 mice and...
