The value of LGI of organ transplants, like renal allografts, is still not clearly defined.

Further prospective clinical trials are needed for a better assessment of LGI in organ transplantation.
These data, combined with its inhibitory effect on DNA repair as reported previously, propose that the presence of AML1-ETO increases the susceptibility of cells to chemical carcinogens, which favors the development of additional genetic alterations.
