Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction for the rearranged retinoic acid receptor alpha clarifies diagnosis and detects minimal residual disease in acute promyelocytic leukemia.

1 Apr 1992

Abstract excerpt

The characteristic t(15;17) of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) fuses the retinoic acid receptor alpha (RAR-alpha) gene on chromosome 17 to a gene on chromosome 15 called PML, a putative transcription factor. This distinct translocation results in a fusion mRNA detected by Northern analysis. Two cDNAs have been isolated that differ in the extent of 3' PML nucleic acid sequence contained. This study describes a...
