TP73 encodes for two proteins: full-length TAp73 and DeltaNp73, which have little transcriptional activity and exert dominant-negative function towards TP53 and TAp73. We compared TATP73 and DeltaNTP73 expression in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) samples and normal CD34(+) progenitors. Both forms were more highly expressed in leukaemic cells.

We report a case of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) subtype M2, with t(5;11)(q35;q13), in a 30-year-old man. Conventional cytogenetic, spectral karyotyping, and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) studies on bone marrow sample obtained at diagnosis revealed an abnormal karyotype in all cells examined. FISH analysis demonstrated absence of translocations in the region of the cyclin D1 gene and real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction revealed normal expression of this gene.
