Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Additional sex combs-like 1 (ASXL1) is frequently mutated in myeloid malignancies. Recent studies showed that hematopoietic-specific deletion of Asxl1 or overexpression of mutant ASXL1 resulted in myelodysplasia-like disease in mice. However, actual effects of a "physiological" dose of mutant ASXL1 remain unexplored. METHODS: We established a knock-in mouse model bearing the most frequent Asxl1...
