The PML-RAR alpha transcript in long-term follow-up of acute promyelocytic leukemia patients [PDF]
Background and Objectives. Detection of PML-RAR alpha transcripts by RT-PCR is now established as a rapid and sensitive method for diagnosis of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), Although the majority of patients in longterm clinical remission are ...

A retrospective analysis of the relation of relapses and anaemias to the frequency of micronucleated erythroblasts in bone marrow smear in 140 children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia after BFM and Memphis schemes of therapy was carried out. The anaemias correlated with the frequency of micronucleated erythroblasts in statistically significant ...

Lack of effect of the human GM-CSF analog E21R on the survival of primary human acute myeloid leukemia cells [PDF]
The granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) analog E21R binds to the GM-CSF receptor complex with low affinity and acts as a competitive antagonist.

ARID5B polymorphism confers an increased risk to acquire specific MLL rearrangements in early childhood leukemia [PDF]
Background: Acute leukemia in early age (EAL) is characterized by acquired genetic alterations such as MLL rearrangements (MLL-r). The aim of this case-controlled study was to investigate whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of IKZF1, ARID5B ...

Deferasirox (DFX), in addition to its iron-chelation property, has marked anti-proliferative effects on cancer cells. However, the activity and mechanism by which DFX inhibits acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells remain to be elucidated.

Studies of FLT3 mutations in paired presentation and relapse samples from patients with acute myeloid leukemia: implications for the role of FLT3 mutations in leukemogenesis, minimal residual disease detection, and possible therapy with FLT3 inhibitors [PDF]
FLT3 mutations, either internal tandem duplications (ITDs) or aspartate residue 835 (D835) point mutations, are present in approximately one third of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and have been associated with an increased relapse rate.
