PY - 2022 T2 - Williams Manual of Hematology, 10e AB - Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) is a malignancy originating in the lymphohematopoietic stem cell or a closely related multipotential hematopoietic cell.It is characterized by clonal proliferation of leukemic blast cells in the marrow and impaired production of normal blood cells, resulting in anemia; thrombocytopenia; and low, normal, or high white cell counts depending on the concentration of leukemic cells in the blood.AML occurs in nine morphologic (phenotypic) variants, each with characteristic cytologic, genetic, and sometimes clinical features.It has been found to have innumerable (>150) mutated genetic driver and cooperating oncogenes.
