The diagnostic and clinical impact of genetics and epigenetics in acute myeloid leukemia.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Frequent PT (INR) testing may represent a problem for patients on warfarin treatment, and capillary or small-volume tubes may be more appropriate for such patients. A demand for small-volume tubes also comes from pediatric wards. Yet, while various small-volume tubes are available, they have not been prope...
