| Abstract | ||
| Introduction: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a heterogeneous hematologic disease characterized by the abnormal neoplastic proliferation of immature lymphoid cells in the bone marrow, peripheral blood, and other parenchymatous organs as liver, spleen and lymph nodes.The involvement of cytogenetic, molecular as well as epigenetic diagnostic criteria in the following years have acquired a pivotal crucial and critical in the refinement of diagnosis of cases of ALL. ADAM17 (TACE) is an enzyme that impacts cancer progression through its sheddase activity, which involves cleaving cell surface proteins. This process affects growth factor signaling, angiogenesis, cell adhesion, and immune system evasion. In ALL, dysregulated ADAM17 can worsen disease outcomes by influencing cell proliferation and survival, making it a potential target for new cancer therapies. Aim: The aim of this study was to define the diagnostic relevance of the expression of ADAM17 gene in newly diagnosed cases of ALL in Pediatric patients. Patient and Methods: | ||
