Single nucleotide polymorphism microarray analysis of karyotypically normal acute myeloid leukemia reveals frequent copy number neutral loss of heterozygosity

Approximately 40–50% of acute myeloid leukemias (AMLs) show cytogenetically normal karyotypes. These karyotypically normal AMLs are prognostically heterogeneous and show various molecular alterations.[1][1] In order to explain leukemogenesis or clinical progression of the disease, the genomic
