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.

Background: Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm where pathogenesis is based on the oncoprotein termed BCR-ABL1.1 TET2 initiates DNA demethylation and is frequently mutated in hematological malignancies, including CML. The relation between TET2 acquisition and CML transformation and/or imatinib resistance is needed to be investigated.
