Abstract excerpt
Constitutive activation of aberrant fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) kinase as a consequence of gene fusion such as FOP-FGFR1 associated with t(6; 8)(q27;p11-12) translocation, is the hallmark of an atypical aggressive stem cell myeloproliferative disorder (MPD) in humans. In this study, we show that expression of FOP-FGFR1 in primary bone marrow cells induced by retroviral transduction generates a MPD...
