We monitored the copy number alterations and mRNA expression of selected markers involved in glycolysis (HK2, PFKM, PKM), autophagy (BECN1, MAP1LC3B, SQSTM1), and mitophagy (PRKN, BNIP3, BNIP3L) by interrogating the AML dataset (OHSU, Nature 2018) from the TCGA bioportal. The gene discussed is SQSTM1; the disease is acute myeloid leukemia.
