definition of LAML?

[­ Klaus Heese | 서울 의생명공학전문대학원 | 교수]

Dear Madam or Sir,

 

we are exploring your website cBioportal for quite some time … recently, one of our focus is also AML.

 

We are wondering about the abbreviation in your data sets: you are using the term LAML but we cannot find the exact definition for it.

In many publications and websites scientists refer to your website and indicate LAML = acute myeloid leukemia.

 

However, there is no description/definition of the first ‘L’ in LAML (leukocytic, lymphatic, lymphoid, …, etc) and we cannot find it at any other site/place in any publication.

 

 

We would highly appreciate if you could give as a definition of your used term LAML.

 

 

Sincerely yours,

Klaus Heese

Hi Klaus,

We use AML as the abbreviation for acute myeloid leukemia, (see http://oncotree.mskcc.org : a search for laml will not yield anything, while a search for aml will find acute myeloid leukemia. The LAML is referring to the name that the AML study has within TCGA. We kept it consistent with that for the TCGA studies but not for other datasets. I have no idea why they called it LAML though.

Best,

Sjoerd.
