Acute Myeloid Leukemia with t(2;6)(q12;q12) Reveals Dysmegakaryopoietic Finding and Poor Prognosis
We present a case of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with a balanced translocation between chromosomes 2q12 and 6q12, t(2;6)(q12;q12). This abnormality was defined by conventional cytogenetics and multicolor banding techniques using specific probes for chromosome 2. Blasts accounted for 2% of white blood cells in peripheral blood and approximately 30% of all nucleated cells in marrow aspirates. Th...
متن کاملPoor Prognosis in Acute Myeloid Leukemia Patients with Monosomal Karyotypes
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics and prognostic significance of monosomal karyotypes (MKs) in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data for 498 patients with AML, of whom 233 (46.8%) had an abnormal karyotype, including 42 with MKs (8.4%) and 70 with a complex karyotype (CK) (14.1%). ...
متن کاملUpregulation of miR-99a is associated with poor prognosis of acute myeloid leukemia and promotes myeloid leukemia cell expansion
Leukemia stem cells (LSCs) can resist available treatments that results in disease progression and/or relapse. To dissect the microRNA (miRNA) expression signature of relapse in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), miRNA array analysis was performed using enriched LSCs from paired bone marrow samples of an AML patient at different disease stages. We identified that miR-99a was significantly upregulate...
متن کاملTh17 cells and interleukin-17 increase with poor prognosis in patients with acute myeloid leukemia
Although Th17 cells play crucial roles in the pathogenesis of many autoimmune and inflammatory disorders, their roles in malignancies are currently under debate. The role and mechanism of Th17 cells in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remain poorly understood. Here we demonstrated that the frequency of Th17 cells was significantly increased in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs...
متن کاملRelationship Between SOX17 Gene Expression and Prognosis in Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Background: Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a group of heterogeneous malignancies caused by defects in differentiation of hematopoietic cells. SRY-box containing gene 17(SOX17) is a transcription factor which plays an important role in several biological processes, including cardiogenesis, angiogenesis, and lymphopoiesis. Aberrant expression of SOX17 has been detected in solid tumors. This stud...
