Abstract excerpt
Genetic studies have identified recurrent somatic mutations in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients, including in the Wilms' tumor 1 (WT1) gene. The molecular mechanisms by which WT1 mutations contribute to leukemogenesis have not yet been fully elucidated. We investigated the role of Wt1 gene dosage in steady-state and pathologic hematopoiesis. Wt1 heterozygous loss enhanced stem cell self-renewal in an...
