Overview

NCI Definition: An acute myeloid leukemia characterized by a predominant immature erythroid population. There are two subtypes recognized: erythroleukemia and pure erythroid leukemia. (WHO, 2001) [1]

Acute erythroid leukemias most frequently harbor alterations in TET2 [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Acute Erythroid Leukemia

TET2 T1809I and TET2 Mutation are the most common alterations in acute erythroid leukemia [2].
