Furthermore amongst, 215, intermediate cytogenetics risk group AML patients, high HOTAIRM1 expression was associated with inferior overall survival (OR: 2.04; P = 0.001) and disease-free survival (OR:2.56; P < 0.001) and a higher cumulative incidence of relapse (OR:1.67; P = 0.046). This evidence concerns the gene HOTAIRM1 and acute myeloid leukemia.
