Abstract
The intracellular expression of Smac/DIABLO protein was assessed using multi-color flow cytometry in 71 newly diagnosed AML patients treated with conventional chemotherapy. It was found that the high expression of Smac/DIABLO protein was an independent prognostic factor in terms of higher complete remission rate (p < 0.001) and longer overall survival (p = 0.003). Moreover the low expression of Smac/DIABLO protein was associated with poor karyotype.
