The P2RX5 gene is expressed in normal lymphocytes, B and T lineage ALL, a range of lymphoma and multiple myeloma cases, the CD34+ fractions of CML and AML, and possibly at low levels in brain and skeletal muscle, but there is minimal expression in GVHD target tissues (intestine, liver, lung, skin) (22). The gene discussed is CD34; the disease is acute myeloid leukemia.
