Decoding Leukemia Patient Genome Leads Scientists to Mutations in Other Patients

newswise.com

Reporting online Aug. 5 in the New England Journal of Medicine, scientists at Washington University School of Medicine have sequenced the genome of a patient with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), discovering a suite of genetic changes in the cancer cells. Their research has revealed that one of these mutations also is common in certain brain tumors called gliomas and that another occurred in a second patient with the same type of leukemia. Neither mutation had been previously linked to leukemia.
