geographic heterogeneity of cytogenetic characteristics of acute myeloid leukemia in the early detection:

چکیده
abstract background: acute meyloid leukemia (aml) in adults is known to be a heterogeneous disease with diverse chromosome abnormalities. some of these chromosome abnormalities are found with a high incidence in populations from specific geographical areas and ethnic societies. therefore, we studied the cytogenetic features of aml cases in contrasting societies of iran and india. methods: cytogenetic investigation was performed in various subtypes of aml with unstimulated short-term culture and high resolution cell synchronization with some modification. results: cytogenetically, iranian m3 displayed a higher frequency of t(15;17) than indian m3 (33.8% vs 19.3%) followed by m2 [t(8;21) (27.7% vs 16.2%)] and m1 [t(9;22) (16.0% vs 11.3%)]; whereas, inv(16)11q23 and numerical chromosomal aberrations in chromosome 5,7,8 occurred more frequently in indian than iranian. conclusion: these findings represented different cytogenetic characteristics of t(15;17) between the two populations. this is the first systematic cytogenetic study of an ethnic iranian population. extensive biological studies of aml in iran and india and various countries to be needed to clarify the role of genetic as well as geographic heterogeneity in the pathogenesis of aml.

Geographic Heterogeneity of the AML1-ETO Fusion Gene in Iranian Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Background: The human AML1 gene, located on chromosome 21, can be fused to the AML1- eight-twenty-one (ETO) oncoprotein on chromosome eight, resulting in a t(8;21)(q22;q22) translocation. Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) associated with this translocation is considered a distinct AML with a favorable prognosis. Due to the various incidences of the translocation, which is associated with geographic ...

متن کاملThe role of microRNA in acute/chronic, myeloid/lymphocytic leukemia
MicroRNAs are small, non-coding sequences that regulate gene expression by inducing degradation or translational inhibition of target mRNAs. These molecules control many intracellular physiological and pathological processes.Abnormal expression of these moleculs has been described in different cancers including hematopoietic cancers. According to the type of cancer and the stage, miRNA’s expres...
متن کاملDetection of R882 Mutations in DNMT3A Gene in Acute Myeloid Leukemia: A Method Comparison Study
Background: Somatic mutations in the hotspot region of the DNA-methyltransferase 3A (DNMT3A) gene were recurrently identified in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It is believed that DNMT3A mutations confer an adverse prognosis for AML patients. These lines of evidence support the need for a rapid and cost-efficient method for the detection of these mutations. The present study aimed to establish h...
متن کاملEvaluation of BAALC gene expression in normal cytogenetic acute myeloid leukemia patients in north-east of Iran
Background: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is known as one of the most common leukemia among adults. Environmental and different genetic factors affect disease process, prognosis and treatment. Among different genetic factors NPM1, FLT3, MLL and BAALC genes are the most effective on patient's survival rate. The aim of this study was to assess amount of BAALC gene expression in AML patients, and i...
متن کاملheterogeneity within the orientalist discourse: representation of the orient in womens travelogues and mens paintings
from 1950s onward, new theories and critical approaches burgeoned across humanities. these theories were context-oriented; as a result, the analysis of discursive practices gained significance. thus, social, political, historical and cultural discourses that have been hitherto marginalized and considered inferior to literary texts, were introduced as important texts to be analyzed by critics. o...
