Abstract
Blast cells from a majority of acute myelogenous leukaemia (AML) patie nts express c-kit mRNA, However, c-kit expression has not been observe d in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) and lymphoproli ferative disease. We report here the detection of an abnormal sized c- kit mRNA in two Hong Kong Chinese patients with pre-B ALL and common A LL.
