Recurring chromosomal abnormalities in leukemia inPML-RARA transgenic mice parallel human acute promyelocytic leukemia
15 Apr 2002
Abstract excerpt
Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is characterized by the t(15;17)(q22;q11.2), which results in the PML-RARA fusion gene. In previous studies, we demonstrated that expression of a human PML-RARA complementary DNA in murine granulocyte precursor cells initiated the development of leukemia. However, leukemogenesis by PML-RARA required additional genetic alterations. To identify genetic changes that cooperate with...
