In turn, a marked increased proliferation was detected in AML patients among the CD13lo/int/CD11b+ and CD13hi/CD11b+ subsets of maturing neutrophils vs. normal/reactive BM (p≤0.001), the latter subset also showing an increased PI vs. MDS (p = 0.007) (Table 1). Here, ITGAM is linked to myelodysplastic syndrome.
