ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To quantify the expression level of GRAF gene in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and analyze its clinical significance.METHODS:
The EvaGreen real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RQ-PCR) assay was established and performed to measure the GRAF gene transcripts in 71 cases with AML and 21 with nonmalignant hematological diseases. The clinical correlation of GRAF expression was analyzed.RESULTS:
The established EvaGreen RQ-PCR assay had good specificity, reproducibility and sensitivity. The GRAF expression level was significantly lower in AML (0.01%-169.75%, median 3.82%) than that in controls (14.49%-126.85%, median 56.04%) (P<0.05). There was no correlation between the level of GRAF transcript and the sex, age, hematologic parameters, FAB subtypes and karyotypic groups (P>0.05).CONCLUSION:
The GRAF gene was down-regulated in AML, which might play a role in the leukemogenesis.
