Molecular analysis of nonrandom 8q12 deletions in acute lymphoblastic leukemia: identification of two candidate genes.

Abstract excerpt

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is the most common malignancy in childhood. High-resolution allelotyping performed in our laboratory showed new chromosomal sites of nonrandom deletions. We have focused our work on 8q12 deletions, which we have found in about 4% of patients (eight of 205 informative cases). These deletions were of small size (less than 1 Mb) in all but one patient, and the deleted region common to...
