ABSTRACT
CCAAT/enhancer binding protein alpha gene (CEBPA) is an important transcription factor in maintenance of differentiation of granulocyte series of hematopoietic system. It plays a key role in regulating cell proliferation and differentiation. CEBPA mutation easily occurs in M1 and M2 type of acute myeloid leukemia, about 5%-14% in adult acute myeloid leukemia and 7.9% in children with acute myeloid leukemia. At present, domestic CEBPA mutation research is far less than abroad. This review focuses on the structual characteristics and detection method of CEBPA, CEBPA clinical features, the effect of CEBPA mutation on the prognosis of patients and the choice of treatment.
