28 Aug 2001
Abstract excerpt
Therapy-related acute myeloid leukemias (t-AML) with translocations of the MLL gene are associated with the use of topoisomerase II inhibitors. We established the emergence of the malignant clone in a child who developed t-AML with a t(11;19) (q23;p13.3) during treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The MLL-ENL and the reciprocal ENL-MLL genomic fusions and their chimeric transcripts were characterized...
