Yoshiko Atsuta,Ritsuro Suzuki,Ayami Yoshimi,Hisashi Gondo,Junji Tanaka,Akira Hiraoka,Koji Kato,Ken Tabuchi,Masahiro Tsuchida,Yasuo Morishima,Makoto Mitamura,Keisei Kawa,Shunichi Kato,Tokiko Nagamura,Minoko Takanashi,Yoshihisa Kodera +15 more
TL;DR: JSHCT played a central role in developing the “Transplant Registry Unified Management Program (TRUMP)” to enable transplantation institutes to manage patient information with emphases on convenience to institutes, safety of patient information, and quality of data management.
Journal ArticleDOI
Frequent mutations in the GATA-1 gene in the transient myeloproliferative disorder of Down syndrome.
Gang Xu,Masumi Nagano,Rika Kanezaki,Tsutomu Toki,Yasuhide Hayashi,Takeshi Taketani,Tomohiko Taki,Tetsuo Mitui,Kenichi Koike,Koji Kato,Masue Imaizumi,Isao Sekine,Yasuhiko Ikeda,Ryoji Hanada,Masahiro Sako,Kazuko Kudo,Seiji Kojima,Osamu Ohneda,Masayuki Yamamoto,Etsuro Ito +19 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that expression of GATA-1 with a defective N-terminal activation domain contributes to the expansion of TMD blast cells and that other genetic changes contribute to the development of AMKL in Down syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prognostic value of internal tandem duplication of the FLT3 gene in childhood acute myelogenous leukemia
Masaru Kondo,Keizo Horibe,Yoshiyuki Takahashi,Kimikazu Matsumoto,Minoru Fukuda,Jun Inaba,Koji Kato,Seiji Kojima,Takaharu Matsuyama +8 more
TL;DR: FLT3/ITD was observed in 11% of childhood AML and identified to be associated with poor prognosis and a large prospective study with uniform treatment is necessary to confirm the results.
Journal ArticleDOI
