Summary of the Study

RECQ helicases maintain genome integrity by regulating DNA repair in response to genotoxic stress. Their deregulation may contribute to the genomic instability observed in hematological malignancies.

In this study:

  • Expression profiles of RECQ family genes were examined across:

    • Acute myeloid leukemia
    • Chronic lymphocytic leukemia
    • Lymphoma
    • Multiple myeloma
  • Public transcriptomic datasets were used to compare tumor vs. normal expression

  • At least one RECQ gene was found significantly deregulated in each malignancy

  • Certain RECQ members showed strong prognostic value, identifying high-risk patients

Important

In this study, Alboukadel Kassambara contributed to the bioinformatic analysis of gene expression data, focusing on the expression and prognostic relevance of RECQ helicase family genes across hematologic cancers.
