TET2 Single Nucleotide Polymorphism in Myeloid Neoplasms Among Egyptian Patients.

ABSTRACT: Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous disease characterized by myeloid progenitor cells uncontrolled proliferation gradually replacing normal hematopoiesis. To evaluate Ten Eleven Translocation 2 gene (TET2) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (rs2454206, rs34402524, rs61744960) in AML, and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in relation to their disease prognostic criteria. The study included 136 subjects; 52 AML, 54 CML and 30 subjects as control group matched for age and sex. Routine investigations including CBC, bone marrow aspiration, flow cytometry biochemical investigations and cytogenetics and molecular study were performed accordingly. DNA extraction and SNP assay for TET2 gene polymorphism was done using (Thermo-Fisher predesigned SNP, USA) PCR prism 7500. The mean age
