Reikvam et al. have described the expression pattern of five different Cxs (Cx26, Cx32, Cx37, Cx43, and Cx45) in primary AML cells [29], and reported a high expression of Cx43 and Cx45, particularly in the most differentiated stages such as FAB M4 and M5) [30]. This evidence concerns the gene GJB2 and acute myeloid leukemia.
