Myeloproliferative Disorders with Translocations of Chromosome 5q31–35: Role of the Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Receptor Beta
1 Jan 2002
Abstract excerpt
Acquired reciprocal chromosomal translocations that involve chromosome bands 5q31-33 are associated with a significant minority of patients with BCR-ABL-negative chronic myeloid leukemias. The most common abnormality is the t(5;12)(q33;p13), which fuses the ETV6/TEL gene to the platelet-derived growth factor receptor-beta (PDGFRB), a receptor tyrosine kinase that maps to 5q33. PDGFRB is disrupted by other...
