Overview
Acute Leukemia is a malignancy of bone marrow myeloid and lymphoblastic precursor cells, in which poorly differentiated hematopoietic cells proliferate rapidly. Hence, their accumulation would disrupt the performance of bone marrow to produce normal blood cells
Causes
AML and ALL are life-threatening diseases, which would result in death if left untreated. In the majority of cases, etiology is not apparent.
Common Causes of AML
- Gene mutations:FLT3, IDHI, IDH2, KRAS, DNMT3A, NPM1
- Chromosomal translocations, deletions, and inversions
- Benzene or radiation exposure chronically[1]
Common Causes of ALL
- Radiation exposure:
- Genetic disorders; e.g., Down syndrome, ataxia-telangiectasia, Fanconi anemia
- Certain infections: e.g., HTLV-1
