Genomic anatomy of the specific reciprocal translocation t(15;17) in acute promyelocytic leukemia
13 Dec 2002
Abstract excerpt
The genomic breakpoints in the t(15;17)(q22;q21), associated with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), are known to occur within three different PML breakpoint cluster regions (bcr) on chromosome 15 and within RARA intron 2 on chromosome 17; however, the precise mechanism by which this translocation arises is unclear. To clarify this mechanism, we (i). assembled the sequence of RARA intron 2, (ii). amplified and...
