Abstract excerpt
One allele of interferon regulatory factor-1 (IRF-1), a transcriptional activator of genes critical for growth suppression, differentiation, and apoptosis, is usually deleted in acute myeloid leukemias (AML) and myelodysplasias (MDS) with deletion of chromosome 5q31. Accelerated exon skipping of IRF-1, resulting in transcripts lacking a translation initiation site, has been hypothesized as a means of functional...
