Differential gene expression of BAALC in BMMCs, APL, and in different subtypes of AML. The expression of the BAALC gene was analyzed by real-time quantitative PCR using the ABL FusionQuant Standard kit as the endogenous control. The horizontal bars represent the median value of BAALC expression relative to expression of the ABL gene. BAALC expression was lower in APL samples as determined by the Kruskal-Wallis test followed by the Dunn posttest.
