Hey and morning from a very inclement Sydney...

But we down here are quite happy about that right now... The rain is finally putting out the fires and were getting our country a much-needed refreshment...

This article is a follow up of sorts to another I Posted earlier from the Cold Springs Lab in the USA.

Potentially, it has discovered that two High Risk (HR) genes that already were bad enough on their own create a partnership of sorts that Might lead to transitional changes towards becoming Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML), and what's really exciting, is that they may have found a way to prevent that gene association (?)

Enjoy the read...

Best wishes

Mutant cells team up to make an even deadlier blood cancer

Is this a potential therapy for just a few patients with these mutations? Or most patients that progress to AML have these mutations? Can you explain it a little bit for me???

I shall try...

The presence of High Risk (HR) genes can often mean a worse prognosis for those of us who might have one or more...

The article points out that two (2) types of HR genes are known to cause AML and that creating the ability to stop those two (2) genes from communicating with each other might prevent AML... Might...

So yes, potentially, it might eventually prove a useful technology to develop, in my view...

Interesting, thanks. I haven't had any gene tests done -but one to keep in mind.

Very pleased to hear that the fires are receding down there.

Cheers Bluetop...

Fires now replaced by flooding all across the east coast... However, they are extinguishing all of those nasty fires, and refilling our dams and that is of great import too...

Best wishes...
