Myelomonocytic leukaemia (JMML) in a child with intellectual disability and chromosome 4q deletion

JMML is a rare aggressive type of leukaemia seen in children. It is often seen with syndromes such as Noonan, and neurofibromatosis type 1. Rarely it can be a sporadic event. The pathogenesis of myeloproliferation in this condition is due to the activation of the MAPK-RAS pathway. We here report an...
