Abstract excerpt
The prognosis of pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has improved via stratification therapy. However, relapse or death occurs in 30%-40% of cases. Novel genetic factors for pediatric AML need to be elucidated to improve prognosis. We detected recurrent internal tandem duplication in upstream binding transcription factor (UBTF-ITD) in 1.2% (6/503) of Japanese pediatric patients with de novo AML. No UBTF-ITD...
