Genomic DNA breakpoints in <i>AML1</i> / <i>RUNX1</i> and <i>ETO</i> cluster with topoisomerase II DNA cleavage and DNase I hypersensitive sites in t(8;21) leukemia
26 Feb 2002
Abstract excerpt
The translocation t(8;21)(q22;q22) is one of the most frequent chromosome translocations in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). AML1/RUNX1 at 21q22 is involved in t(8;21), t(3;21), and t(16;21) in de novo and therapy-related AML and myelodysplastic syndrome as well as in t(12;21) in childhood B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Although DNA breakpoints in AML1 and ETO (at 8q22) cluster in a few introns, the mechanisms...
