Myelopoiesis-associated miR-10a, miR-17-5p, miR-155, miR-223 and miR-424 were analysed by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in bone marrow cells of atypical chronic myeloid leukaemia (aCML, n = 7) and chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia (CMML, n = 8) and were compared to BCR-ABL-positive chronic myelogenous leukaemia (CML, n = 10) and non-neoplastic haematopoiesis (n = 10).
