"Levels of both EGFL7 mRNA and EGFL7 protein are increased in blasts of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) compared with normal bone marrow cells. High EGFL7 mRNA expression associates with lower complete remission rates and shorter event-free and overall survival in older (age >/=60 y) and younger (age <60 y) patients with cytogenetically normal AML."xsd:string
