## Abstract Expression of __BAALC__, __ERG__, and __MN1__ is associated with outcome in normal karyotype acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In this study, the expression of these markers and of __EVI1__ and __CDKN1B__ was determined using oligonucleotide microarrays in 286 AML comprising all cytogenetic
AML patients with normal karyotype comprise the largest subgroup (βΌ50%) but have a highly heterogeneous clinical course. By multiparameter flow cytometry we analyzed CD7 expression along with other phenotypic markers in 185 patients with normal-karyotype AML. CD7 was expressed in 68 (37%) patients.
## Abstract We performed a wholeβgenome loss of heterozygosity (LOH) analysis of 32 cases of acute myeloid leukemia with normal karyotype using highβdensity single nucleotide polymorphism arrays. LOH was found in 20% of cases. We identified two types of LOH: (i) interstitial, characterized by small
