Popis: Summary. The expression of apoptosis-related genes BCL2, BAX, BCL2L1, BCL2A1, MCL1, DAPK1 and MYC was studied by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction on total RNA samples from patients with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL, n = 16), acute myeloid leukaemia (AML, n = 27), chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML, n = 12), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL, n = 19) and chronic lymphoid leukaemia (CLL, n = 32). BCL2, BAX, BCL2A1, MCL1, DAPK1 and MYC were overexpressed in all patient groups. BCL2L1 was underexpressed in CLL and CML, but not in AML, ALL and MCL. MCL1 levels were significantly higher in CD13 and CD33-positive ALL, and in CD56-positive AML samples. BCL2, BCL2L1, BCL2A1 and MCL1 were overexpressed and DAPK1 was underexpressed in CLL samples with a 11q23 deletion. MYC overexpression was significantly associated with shorter overall survival in MCL (P
