LYL1 and acute myeloid leukemia: However, our suggestion may reflect the value of this expression on the degree of maturation of myeloid cells, erythroid cells, and megakaryopoiesis (hematopoietic lineage), and may be explained by the pro-leukemic effect of LYL1 in early hematopoietic progenitors as observed in a study by Lukov et al. Further research on large groups of AML cases is required to clarify this finding.
