Elucidating the genomic and transcriptomic profiles contributing to the overall survival of acute myeloid leukaemia patients with normal karyotype in Malaysia by Ambayya @ Ampiah, A Angeli

“…The transcriptome sequencing yielded discoveries of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) profiles and functionally enriched pathways in several subgroup analyses as follows: AML-NK patients with the healthy normal groups (5126 DEGs), paired DX and CR1 (5621 DEGs), FLT3/NPM1 genotypes (750 DEGs), and OS of below and above five years (211 DEGs). There were 27 types of fusion genes (n=68) discovered in this study, of which several novel recurrent fusion genes, including LATS2-SAP18 and HOXA3-HOXA9, exhibited prognostic relevance in patients with OS below five years. …”
