Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Acute myeloid leukemia with complex karyotype (CK-AML) is a distinct biological entity associated with a very poor outcome. Since complex karyotypes frequently contain deletions of the chromosomal region 12p13 encompassing the tumor suppressor genes ETV6 and CDKN1B, we aimed to unravel their modes of inactivation in CK-AML. RESULTS: To decipher deletions, mutations and methylation of ETV6 and CDKN1B,...
