Résumé

Familial aggregation among patients with several hematological malignancies has been revealed. This emphasizes the importance of genetic factors. Only few genes predisposing to familial hematological malignancies have been reported until now due to the low occurrence. We have described in previous study PRF1 and CEBPA variants that might contribute to the background of genetic factors, which encourage us to extend our investigations to other cooperating genes. The aim of this study is to determine whether germline additional sex combs-like 1 (ASXL1) gene mutations may be involved?
