Overview
Pathophysiology
- It is associated with GATA1, and risks are increased in individuals with Down syndrome.[1] However, not all cases are associated with Down syndrome,[2] and other genes can also be associated with AMKL.[3]
- According to the report of the French-American-British Cooperative Group, this category of AML (M7 subtype) is associated with 30% or more blasts in the bone marrow. Blasts are identified as being of megakaryocyte lineage by; expression of megakaryocyte specific antigens and platelet peroxidase reaction on electron microscopy.[4]
- Myelofibrosis is usually associated with AMKL; however, the exact underlying pathophysiology is controversial. The investigators did not find any direct correlation between acute myelofibrosis and the fibroblasts obtained from the bone marrow of patients with AMKL. Nevertheless, it was proposed that some humoral factors may play a key role in developing bone marrow fibrosis.[5]
- Transforming Growth Factor-β (TG-β) was identified to be the significant contributor in AMKL associated myelofibrosis in addition to some other unknown factors due to the strong stimulatory effects on collagen.[6]
