Background Biphenotypic acute leukemia is a rare disorder that is difficult to diagnose. It displays features of both myeloid and lymphoid lineage. There is still a lack of studies in biphenotypic acute leukemia in a Chinese population. We present here a

Overexpression of the protein kinase CK2 increases the survival and resistance to chemotherapy of acute myeloid leukemia cells [PDF]
Background: The critical role of protein kinase CK2 in the regulation of cellular apoptosis suggests its may be involvement in tumor cell resistance to both conventional and unconventional therapies.

Impact of IDH Mutations on DNA Methylation of Acute Myeloid Leukemia Related Genes: A Review Article
Background: Acute myeloid leukemia is one of the deadliest hematologic malignancies that is marked by genetic alterations, abnormal cellular functions, and proliferation. Mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase genes, particularly isocitrate dehydrogenase

Elucidating the role of the tumor suppressor Protein Phoshatase 2A in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia. [PDF]
Protein phosphatase-2A (PP2A) is one of the major cellular serine-threonine phosphatases and is involved in the regulation of cell homeostasis through the negative regulation of signaling pathways initiated by protein kinases.

Deletions of the derivative chromosome 9 occur at the time of the Philadelphia translocation and provide a powerful and independent prognostic indicator in chronic myeloid leukemia [PDF]
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is characterized by formation of the BCR-ABL fusion gene, usually as a consequence of the Philadelphia (Ph) translocation between chromosomes 9 and 22.

Reciprocal t(9;22) ABL/BCR fusion proteins: leukemogenic potential and effects on B cell commitment [PDF]
Background: t(9;22) is a balanced translocation, and the chromosome 22 breakpoints (Philadelphia chromosome – Ph+) determine formation of different fusion genes that are associated with either Ph+ acute lymphatic leukemia (Ph+ ALL) or chronic myeloid ...

The presence of a FLT3 internal tandem duplication in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) adds important prognostic information to cytogenetic risk group and response to the first cycle of chemotherapy: analysis of 854 patients from the United Kingdom Medical Research Council AML 10 and 12 trials [PDF]
In acute myeloid leukemia (AML), further prognostic determinants are required in addition to cytogenetics to predict patients at increased risk of relapse.

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.
