Why do AML patients respond differently to therapy? • AML is not one disease • AML is a disease of the genes • Different AMLs have different recurrent genetic abnormalities Identification of genetic defects in AML: • Improved diagnostics and prognostics • More specific treatment protocols Identification of genetic defects in AML: • Improved diagnostics and prognostics • More specific treatment protocols Normal: 2 x 23 chromosomes Kern Cel DNA AML is a clonal disease with frequent chromosomal abnormalities.
