Expression of ROR1 Gene in Patients with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Background: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) results from genetic alterations in a single lymphoid progenitor cell. Expression of ROR1 is reported to be increased in ALL and mantle cell lymphoma. In this study the expression of ROR1 was assessed in newly diagnosed patients with ALL. Methods: This study was carried out on 40 patients with newly diagnosed ALL and healthy individuals as contro...
متن کاملAssocition between LAPTM4B gene polymorphism and the risk of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia

متن کاملChildhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.
The cure rate for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) now exceeds 70%. This success has been achieved in part by improvements in the biologic characterization of newly diagnosed patients. Modern treatment protocols rely on this information to tailor therapy to a patient's risk of relapse. Patients with favorable genetic features, such as hyperdiploidy or the TEL-AML1 fusion, can be tre...
متن کاملChildhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is recognized as a fast-developing cancer originated from blood-progenitor cells. Blasts cells are immature cells which generate white blood cells (leukocytes), and it is the malignancy of the blast cells which lead to leukemias. The bone marrow is gradually filled up with these blasts and as a result, the production of healthy blood cells will be damaged. Mal...
