This study explored the impact of transcriptome-based co-expression of bromodomain containing 4 (BRD4) and PD-1/PD-L1 on the overall survival (OS) of patients with AML, in order to understand whether BRD4 would affect the effect of PD-1/PD-L1 blockades. The gene discussed is BRD4; the disease is acute myeloid leukemia.
