Abstract:
Abstract Philadelphia chromosome-like acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph-like ALL or BCR-ABL1-like ALL) is a kind of acute leukemia which has the similar gene expression profiles and manifests the biological behavior same to Ph-positive ALL, but lacks the BCR-ABL1 fusion gene. Ph-like ALL was involved in multiple abnormal changes of genomes, activating kinase and cytokine receptor signaling. This review focuses on the progress of classical genetic abnormalities of PH-like ALL in the JAK-STAT signaling, ABL kinase activation, TKI resistance in Ph-like ALL, SH2B3 gene inactivating mutation and IKZF1 gene abnormality. Besides, also summarizes the frontier progress of novel gene mutation (ATF7IP exon 9 fused with PDGFRB exon 11, PDGFRBC843G mutation caused by fusion of exon 11-23 of PDGFRB with exon 1-6 of AGGF1 gene) in recent years.

Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
Cancer-Critical Genes I: Proto-oncogenes
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
