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]
This category of AML is associate with 30% or more blasts in the marrow, blast are identified as being of megakaryocyte lineage by; Expression of megakaryocyte specific antigens and platelet peroxidase reaction on electron microscopy.
