Overall, twelve proteins were found differentially expressed in ALL patients, independently of the risk them, GELS, KNG1, CD5 antigen (CD5L), leucine-rich alpha-2-glycoprotein precursor (A2GL), vitronectin (VTNC) and Ig mu chain C region (IGHM) were down-regulated, whereas increased expression of ZA2G, VTDB, TRFE, plasminogen (PLMN), alpha-2-macroglobulin (A2MG) and AMBP was detected. The gene discussed is VTN; the disease is acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
