[ 1 ] - Myeloid Cell Leukemia-1 Gene Expression and Clinicopathological Features in Myelodysplastic Syndrome
Background and Aims: Myeloid cell leukemia-1 (Mcl-1) plays a pivotal role in the survival of hematologic and solid tumors, and is known as a substantial oncogene. Studies have demonstrated the altered expression of Mcl-1 has been linked to malignancy development and poor prognosis. In this research, we have studied the expression of Mcl-1 mRNA in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) patients and det...
[ 2 ] - DNA Methylation and Its Role in the Development of Leukemia
Epigenetic changes play an essential role in cancer pathogenesis. It has been established by next-generation sequencing that more than 50% of the human cancers carry mutations in mechanisms involved in the organization of the chromatin and epigenetic regulations. DNA methylation is among the most common epigenetic changes in leukemia. In contrast to DNA mutations which are passively inherited f...
[ 3 ] - Frequency of DNMT3A Mutations in Patients with Acute Leukemia in Mashhad
Background and Aims: DNA methyltransferase3A (DNMT3A) is necessary for the adjustment of gene expression, and the mutations in the DNMT3A gene are reported in a variety of leukemia cases. DNMT3A mutations are during cancer progression and cause poor prognosis in many leukemias. Thus, this gene can be a target for new treatments. This study aimed to examine the distribution of DNMT3A mutations i...
