Abstract excerpt
Truncation of Notch1 has been shown to cause a subtype of acute leukemia, and activation of Notch4 has been associated with mammary and salivary gland carcinomas of mice. Here we identify a new mechanism for disrupting Notch signaling in human tumorigenesis, characterized by altered function of a new ortholog of the Drosophila melanogaster Notch co-activator molecule Mastermind. We cloned the t(11;19)...
