Two key checkpoints control the commitment of cells to replicate DNA synthesis and to mitosis. Many oncogenes and defective tumor-suppressor genes promote malignant change by stimulating cell-cycle entry or disrupting the checkpoint response to DNA damage. Advances in the understanding of genetic and epigenetic mechanisms of gene regulation provide the basis for novel therapeutic approaches. This chapter presents the pathways and the genetic and epigenetic alterations that regulate cell replication and highlights the various oncogenes and tumor-suppressor genes that are involved in hematologic malignancies.
