Despite significant progress in treating a rare subset of acute myeloid leukemias (AML), most patients diagnosed with this disease will die within a few years of diagnosis. Although chromosome analysis of leukemic cells currently represents the most important tool to establish the prognosis of patients suffering from AML, this tool is proven inefficient in almost 50% of patients.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Researchers involved in this project have developed the necessary research infrastructure (Banque de cellules leuc\u00e9miques du Qu\u00e9bec (BCLQ) at H\u00f4pital Maisonneuve-Rosemont and IRIC, the expertise (high-throughput sequencing) and advanced analytic tools in bioinformatics to identify novel genetic alterations which will aid in predicting prognosis in AML patients and by developing new markers to allow better treatment for these patients.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Co-applicants:<\/strong><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 735px; float: left;\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<colgroup>\n<col span=\"2\" width=\"112\" \/>\n<col width=\"511\" \/><\/colgroup>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"xl65\" width=\"112\" height=\"19\">Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric<\/td>\n<td class=\"xl65\" width=\"112\">Barab\u00e9<\/td>\n<td class=\"xl66\" width=\"511\">CHUL Research Center<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"xl65\" height=\"19\">Michel<\/td>\n<td class=\"xl65\">Bouvier<\/td>\n<td class=\"xl66\">Institute for Research in Immunology and Cancer (IRIC)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"xl65\" height=\"19\">Jos\u00e9e<\/td>\n<td class=\"xl65\">H\u00e9bert<\/td>\n<td class=\"xl66\">H\u00f4pital Maisonneuve-Rosemont<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"xl65\" height=\"19\">Sebastien<\/td>\n<td class=\"xl65\">Lemieux<\/td>\n<td class=\"xl66\">Institute for Research in Immunology and Cancer (IRIC)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"xl65\" height=\"19\">Brian<\/td>\n<td class=\"xl65\">Wilhelm<\/td>\n<td class=\"xl66\">Institute for Research in Immunology and Cancer (IRIC)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-25759","financed-project","type-financed-project","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/genomequebec.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/financed-project\/25759","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/genomequebec.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/financed-project"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/genomequebec.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/financed-project"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/genomequebec.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25759"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
