Glutathione S-transferases Null Genotype in Acute Myeloid Leukaemia
Background: The glutathione S-transferase (GST) family of metabolising enzymes plays an important role in the detoxification of mutagens and carcinogens. The expression of many of these cancer susceptibility enzymes is genetically polymorphic. An increased frequency of GST-null genotypes has been associated with several malignancies. Objective: To investigate the rate of GSTT1 and GSTM1 null ge...
متن کاملAcute myeloid leukaemia in adults.
The outlook for patients with acute myeloid leukaemia has improved in the past 30 years. Unlike other cancers, much of this progress is attributable to refinement of supportive treatment, rather than the introduction of new drugs. New antibacterial and antifungal agents, antiemetics, and improved transfusion support have decreased the rate of early death, and morbidity and mortality from alloge...
متن کاملExpression Profiling of Microarray Gene Signatures in Acute and Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia in Human Bone Marrow
Background Classification of cancer subtypes by means of microarray signatures is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore as a potential to transform pathological diagnosis nonetheless, measurement of Indicator genes in routine practice appears to be arduous. In a preceding published study, we utilized real-time PCR measurement of Indicator genes in acute lymphoid leukaemia (ALL) and acute m...
متن کاملBasophils in acute myeloid leukaemia.
Thirty four out of 750 patients entered into the Medical Research Council's (MRC) 9th Acute Myeloid Leukaemia Trial had more than 1% basophils (range 1-27%) often with bizarre granulation and primitive forms, a rare finding in this disease. Both normal and abnormal karyotypes were present including abnormalities of 6p, 12p, and the Philadelphia chromosome. Basophilia was found in both "monoline...
متن کاملAcute myeloid leukaemia in children.
Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is characterized by a block in differentiation and an unregulated proliferation of myeloid progenitor cells. While the cause of AML in children is unknown, risk factors that have been identified include exposure to toxins such as ethanol, pesticides and dietary topoisomerase II inhibitors, prior chemotherapy with alkylating agents or topoisomerase II inhibitors, co...
