Table 5.
Gene and Locus | Gene Mutation | Effects on Pathology | Effects on Treatment |
---|---|---|---|
TCF3 (locus 17q22) | Fusion with HLF | Drives lineage identity and self-renewal by recruiting HLF binding sites to hematopoietic stem cell/myeloid lineage-associated enhancers | Resistance to cell apoptosis and venetoclax |
BCL2 (locus 18q21.33) | High expression | Prolongs cell life by preventing the cell’s scheduled demise | Resistance to cell apoptosis and venetoclax |
MYC (locus 8q24.21) | Deregulation of MYC expression | Has constitutive MYC activity and promotes oncogenesis | Resistance to treatment |
