Erythroleukemia: Classification

Abstract

Abstract Acute erythroid leukemia (AEL) is a rare (2%–5%) form of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Molecular alterations found in AEL resemble those of other AMLs. We report a classification of AELs in three major classes, with different prognosis and some specific features such as a tendency to mutual exclusion of mutations in epigenetic regulators and signaling genes.
