Furthermore, a low level of AKT3 expression is strongly correlated to genetic alterations associated with a better outcome (NPM1 mutations and RUNX1-RUNX1T1 translocation), while a high level is correlated to alterations associated to a bad outcome (RUNX1 mutations; and SRSF2, U2AF1, SF3B1, ASXL1 and BCOR mutations occurring frequently in MDS and MPN). Here, NPM1 is linked to myelodysplastic syndrome.
