Abstract excerpt
Identifying translocations of the MLL gene at chromosome band 11q23 is important for the characterization and treatment of leukemia. However, cytogenetic analysis does not always find the translocations and the many partner genes of MLL make molecular detection difficult. We developed cDNA panhandle PCR to identify der(11) transcripts regardless of the partner gene. By reverse transcribing first-strand cDNAs with...
