| Clinics and Pathology |
| Disease | Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and treatment related acute myeloid leukaemia (t-AML) |
| Epidemiology | Only 2 cases to date, a 41 year old female patient with M1 AML, and a 70 year old male patient with t-AML |
| Prognosis | No data |
| Cytogenetics |
| Cytogenetics Morphological | sole anomaly in the t-AML case, accompanied with del(7q) and a complex karyotype in the other case. |
| Genes involved and Proteins |
| Note | The partner of EVI1 is yet unknown. |
| Gene Name | EVI1 |
| Location | 3q26.2 |
| Protein | Transcrition factor; EVI1 targets include:GATA2, ZBTB16 /PLZF, ZFPM2/FOG2, JNK and the PI3K/AKT pathway. Role in cell cycle progression, likely to be cell-type dependant; antiapoptotic factor; involved in neuronal development organogenesis; role in hematopoietic differsntiation |
