Abstract
The caudal-related homeobox transcription factor CDX2 is expressed in leukemic cells in the majority of patients with leukemia but not during normal blood formation. Here, the authors report a mouse model with conditional Cdx2 expression showing de novo leukemic transformation, and use it to optimize treatment in high-risk AML.
