Advance of study on MN1 gene in acute myeloid leukemia - review / 中国实验血液学杂志

ABSTRACT

The transcriptional coactivator MN1 has been identified as a gene overexpressed in certain types of human acute myeloid leukemia. Overexpression of this gene is associated with all inv (16) AML, retinoic acid-resistance, a worse prognosis as well as a shorter survival in AML patients with a normal karyotype. This article reviews the role of MN1 in acute myeloid leukemia including MN1 gene structure and action mechanism, MN1-TEL and AML with normal karyotype, MN1 and inv (16) AML, MN1 and retinoic ocid-resistance, and so on.
