Long non-coding RNAs as novel therapeutic targets in juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia

Abstract Juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) treatment primarily relies on hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and results in long-term overall survival of 50–60%, demonstrating a need to develop novel treatments. Dysregulation of the non-coding RNA transcriptome has been demonstrated before...
