Research Abstract

We performed this study to understand the mechanisms of leukemogenesis caused by qualitative and quantitative abnormalities of GATA1, and found the following results.
1. We found the internally deleted regions of GATA1 found in TAM play important roles in megakaryocytic proliferation and perturbation of leukemogenesis. 2. The whole-exome sequencing of DS-AMKL revealed the frequent mutations in the genes coding cohesin components, CTCF, epigenetic regulators, and tyrosine kinases/RAS pathway, which occurred subsequent to GATA1 mutations and might cause malignant transformation from TAM to AMKL.
