Cut-like homeobox 1 (CUX1) tumor suppressor gene haploinsufficiency induces apoptosis evasion to sustain myeloid leukemia

Cut-like homeobox 1 (CUX1) is a haploinsufficient tumor suppressor commonly inactivated in acute myeloid leukemia and high-risk myelodysplasia. Here, in a genetically modified murine model, the authors show that CUX1 deficiency impairs apoptosis leading to leukemia when combined with mutant Flt3-ITD...
