RATIONALE: Studying samples of bone marrow from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer.
PURPOSE: This research study is looking at biomarker expression in bone marrow samples from patients with acute myeloid leukemia.
OBJECTIVES:
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.
Archived RNA specimens are analyzed for topoisomerase 2 transcriptional expression by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and for mutations within TOP2 phosphorylation sites by single nucleotide polymorphism analysis.
5,441 studies on the registry are indexed under Leukemia; 636 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 357 is above the median of 120 across 744 observational studies indexed under Leukemia.
