High-Resolution Genome-Wide Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Mapping in Acute Myeloid Leukaemia [PDF]
, 2008 PhDInvestigation of the genetics of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) has revealed the underlying basis of the disease and led to targets for therapy. High-resolution single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) arrays detected regions of loss of heterozygosity ...

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

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

Identification of cooperating genetic events in acute leukemia [PDF]
, 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.

Targeting the MLL complex in acute leukemia [PDF]
, 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
Haematologica, 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.
