Background: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a malignancy arising within the bone marrow (BM), in which leukemic cells proliferate uncontrollably in association with a disruption of normal hematopoiesis.Aim of the work to evaluate the expression of LCN and BCL2L2, in newly diagnosed bone marrow samples from adult with AML and to correlate their expression levels with clinical and Laboratory data of the patients especially that known to have a prognostic feature. Methods: This study was carried out on 87 consecutive newly diagnosed adult AML patients of which 75 are evaluated for both LCN, BCL2L12 (All 87 are evaluated for LCN). In addition, 20 donors of matched age and sex healthy individuals from donors for bone marrow transplantation were included as a control group. Results: No statistical significant correlation was found between LCN over-expression and the control group , there was no statistical significance between its expression and age, sex, hepatomegally, splenomegally and lymphadenopathy, also there was no statistical significance regarding peripheral blood and bone marrow findings, immunophenotyping, cytogenetics or molecular findings and MRD at day 15.No statistical significance was found between BCL2L12 expression and the control group again there was no statistical significance between its expression and age, sex, hepatomegally, splenomegally and lymphadenopathy, also there was no statistical significance regarding peripheral blood and bone marrow findings, immunophenotyping, cytogenetics or molecular findings and MRD at day 15. Conclusion: LCN and BCL2L12 were found to be expressed with non significant difference in AML as in normal subjects; however studies on large number of cases are needed to confirm our finding. The role of LCN and BCL2L12 need to be verified by further large-scale sample and further studies.
