SLU7 and myelodysplastic syndrome: Although no link between SLU7 and hematopoiesis has been made so far, SLU7 is located in the region of the long arm of chromosome 5 (from 5q14.1 to 5q35.1) frequently deleted in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) [114]; therefore, SLU7 downregulation would be expected in MDS.
