Pathogenesis and treatment of Ph+ leukemia: recent insights from mouse models.

abstract：PURPOSE OF REVIEW:Barth syndrome (BTHS) is a mitochondrial disorder characterized by neutropenia, among other defects. As yet, the correlation between the mitochondrial defect in BTHS and the neutropenia observed in these patients is unclear. In this review, we hope to shed some light upon the correlation between the m...
