The development of high-throughput gene manipulating tools such as short hairpin RNA (shRNA) and CRISPR/Cas9 libraries has enabled robust characterization of novel functional genes contributing to the pathological states of the diseases. In acute myeloid leukemia (AML), these genetic screen approaches have been used to identify effector genes with previously unknown roles in AML. These AML-related genes centralize alongside the cellular pathways mediating epigenetics, signaling transduction, transcriptional regulation, and energy metabolism. The shRNA/CRISPR genetic screens also realized an array of candidate genes amenable to pharmaceutical targeting. This review aims to summarize genes, mechanisms, and potential therapeutic strategies found via high-throughput genetic screens in AML. We also discuss the potential of these findings to instruct novel AML therapies for combating drug resistance in this genetically heterogeneous disease.
