Abstract excerpt
The BCR/ABL fusion gene is pathognomonic for chronic myelogenous leukaemia (CML). We have previously reported alternative splicing of BCR/ABL, as indicated by the detection of both p190- and p210-encoding transcripts, in about 60% of CML patient samples. These exon-skipping events involved the joining of ABL exon 2 to variable upstream BCR exons. Similarly, ABL exon 2 is alternatively spliced to either of two...
