Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the gene encoding the transcription factor CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha (C/EBPα) occur in 10-15% of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Frameshifts in the CEBPA N-terminus resulting in exclusive expression of a truncated p30 isoform represent the most prevalent type of CEBPA mutations in AML. C/EBPα p30 interacts with the epigenetic machinery, but it is incompletely understood how p30-induced...
