SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common type of childhood cancer. Previous studies have indicated the involvement of vitamin D receptor (VDR) and related long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) signaling in the pathophysiology of several cancers. However, their contribution to ALL...
OBJECTIVE: The occurrence of cryptic Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome translocation is rare in BCR-ABL1-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCR-ABL1+ ALL) and is of unknown significance in the tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) era. METHODS: We retrospectively studied a series of adult patients receiving TK...
Resumen: La leucemia linfoblástica aguda (LLA) es el tipo de cáncer más frecuente en niños. Aunque se sabe que las alteraciones genéticas constituyen la base de la etiología de la LLA, se ha demostrado que no son suficientes para el desarrollo leucémico; son necesarias alteraciones adicionales, co...
Abstract: Introduction: Relapse occurs in approximately 20% of Mexican patients with childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). In this group, chemoresistance may be one of the biggest challenges. An overview of complex cellular processes like drug tolerance can be achieved with proteomic studies. ...
Resumen: En paralelo al proyecto de la secuenciación del genoma humano, se han desarrollado varias plataformas tecnológicas que están permitiendo ganar conocimiento sobre la estructura del genoma de las entidades humanas, así como evaluar su utilidad en el abordaje clínico del paciente. En la leucem...
IGH gene rearrangement and IGK-Kde gene deletion can be used as molecular markers for the assessment of B lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). Minimal residual disease detected based on those markers is currently the most reliable prognosis factor in B-ALL. The aim of this study was to use clona...
La leucemia linfoblástica aguda (LLA) es la neoplasia maligna hematooncólogica más frecuente en pacientes pediátricos contando hasta 75% de las leucemias y 32-35% del total de cánceres infantiles. Aunque la LLA es considerada una enfermedad con base genética, es cada vez más evidente que alteracio...
Cytogenetic studies are an important tool for diagnosis, prognosis and minimal residual disease (MRD) follow up specially in oncohematology. Conventional cytogenetics, also known as G banding technique, brings complete information for the spectrum of aneuploidies and structural changes present in maligna...
