PCBP1 and acute myeloid leukemia: To question the relationship of PCBP1 expression to AML characteristics, the 88 AML patients were classified into two groups according to the averaged PCBP1 expression, in which patients with PCBP1 expression value less than their averaged level (7.08) were classified into low-expression group (mean expression value 3.12, n = 63), whereas patients with equal PCBP1 level or above the mean value were assigned to the high-expression group (mean expression value 17.06, n = 25), of them, 71.6 % (63/88) patients showed low PCBP1 expression.
