To evaluate this possibility, firstly, we analyzed the expression levels of ACLY across hematopoietic cell types including acute myeloid leukemia (AML), chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), acute lymphoid leukemia (ALL) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) in the BloodSpot web-based interface (http://www.bloodspot.eu, Additional file 1: Figure S4). Here, ACLY is linked to chronic myelogenous leukemia, BCR-ABL1 positive.
