3.5 Relationship between EVI1 expression and other patient
characteristics and molecular abnormalities at diagnosis
As shown in Table 1, low platelet count, high blast percentage in bone
marrow and MLL rearrangement were significantly related to low EVI1
expression (all P <0.05), and TEL-AML1 fusion gene was
significantly related to high EVI1 expression (P<0.05). Other parameters including age, sex, WBC count,
hemoglobin, high-hyperdiploidy, E2A-PBX1 fusion gene, immunophenotypic
subtype at diagnosis and adverse cytogenetic risk feature (include MLL
rearrangement, E2A-PBX1 fusion gene, or hypodiploidy) had no association
with EVI1 expression (all P >0.05).
