To investigate whether the BP-regulated ALKBH5/MLST8/EIF4EBP1 axis has clinical relevance in AML patients, we analysed ALKBH5/MLST8/EIF4EBP1 expression profiles of AML patients for whom overall survival (OS) data were available in the TCGA dataset. This evidence concerns the gene ALKBH5 and acute myeloid leukemia.
