Gene defect predisposes people to leukemia

sciencedaily.com

Mutations on a gene that regulates the transition of primitive blood-forming cells to white blood cells have been implicated in acute myeloid leukemia and in myelodysplasia, a difficulty in producing white blood cells. Studies beyond this one link GATA2 gene mutations to other health problems, including intractable infections, to a type of developmental delay, as well as to a leukemia that causes limb swelling and deafness. A clinical trial under way may point to treatment recommendations for th

empowher.com — “When you develop cancer, which is made up of groups of defective cells that your own body manufactured, your immune system has let you down. The way it is supposed to work is like one of those bug zappers some people still have on their porch on a summer night: the zapper (your immune system) spots a bug (a defective cell) and kills it.
