The role of the fetal microenvironment in abnormal fetal haematopoiesis in Down syndrome
2015-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Children with Down syndrome (DS; trisomy 21, T21) have a 500-fold risk of developing acute megakaryoblastic leukaemia (AMKL) in early childhood compared to children without DS. DS-AMKL is preceded by a transient neonatal leukaemia, unique to DS, caused by acquired mutations in the GATA1 gene in fetal liver (FL) haematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPC). Previous work has shown that T21 itself perturbs FL haemato...
