Hypomethylation and expression of BEX2, IGSF4 and TIMP3 indicative of MLL translocations in Acute Myeloid Leukemia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Background Translocations of the Mixed Lineage Leukemia (MLL) gene occur in a subset (5%) of acute myeloid leukemias (AML), and in mixed phenotype acute leukemias in infancy - a disease with extremely poor prognosis.

Comparison of genetic and clinical aspects in patients with acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes all with more than 50% of bone marrow erythropoietic cells

open access: yesHaematologica, 2011
Background The World Health Organization separates acute erythroid leukemia (erythropoiesis in ≥50% of nucleated bone marrow cells; ≥20% myeloblasts of non-erythroid cells) from other entities with increased erythropoiesis – acute myeloid leukemia with ...

NPM1 mutations and cytoplasmic nucleophosmin are mutually exclusive of recurrent genetic abnormalities: a comparative analysis of 2562 patients with acute myeloid leukemia

open access: yesHaematologica, 2008
Acute myeloid leukemia carrying NPM1 mutations and cytoplasmic nucleophosmin (NPMc+ acute myeloid leukemia) represents one-third of adult AML (50–60% of all acute myeloid leukemia with normal karyotype) and shows distinct biological, pathological and ...

Hypocellular acute myeloid leukemia in adults: analysis of the clinical outcome of 123 patients

open access: yesHaematologica, 2012
Background The hypocellular variant of acute myeloid leukemia accounts for less than 10% of all cases of adult acute myeloid leukemia. It is defined by having less than 20 percent of cellular bone marrow in a biopsy at presentation.

Feasibility of azacitidine added to standard chemotherapy in older patients with acute myeloid leukemia - a randomised SAL pilot study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
INTRODUCTION: Older patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) experience short survival despite intensive chemotherapy. Azacitidine has promising activity in patients with low proliferating AML.

Targeting C-type lectin-like molecule-1 for antibody-mediated immunotherapy in acute myeloid leukemia

open access: yesHaematologica, 2010
Background C-type lectin-like molecule-1 is a transmembrane receptor expressed on myeloid cells, acute myeloid leukemia blasts and leukemic stem cells.

Identification of cooperating genetic events in acute leukemia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The genetic alterations associated with acute leukemia can be divided into two functional groups. The class I mutations enhance cellular proliferation and survival by constitutive activation of mainly protein tyrosine kinases signaling pathways.

Frequency, onset and clinical impact of somatic DNMT3A mutations in therapy-related and secondary acute myeloid leukemia

open access: yesHaematologica, 2012
The recent identification of DNMT3A mutations in de novo acute myeloid leukemia prompted us to determine their frequency, patterns and clinical impact in a cohort of 98 patients with either therapy-related or secondary acute myeloid leukemia developing ...

Targeting the MLL complex in acute leukemia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Chromosomal rearrangements leading mostly to fusion oncoproteins of the Mixed Lineage Leukemia (MLL) gene occur in about 10% of all patients with acute leukemia and are often associated with poor clinical outcome, emphasizing the need for new treatment ...

Clonal leukemic evolution in myelodysplastic syndromes with TET2 and IDH1/2 mutations

open access: yesHaematologica, 2014
Somatic mutations of TET2, IDH1, and IDH2 have been described in myelodysplastic syndrome. The impact of these mutations on outcome of myelodysplastic syndrome and their progression to secondary acute myeloid leukemia remains unclear.
