Abstract excerpt
The t(12;21) translocation resulting in the TEL-AML1 gene fusion is found in 25% of childhood B-cell precursor (BCP) acute lymphoblastic leukemias (ALL). Since TEL-AML1 has been reported to induce cell cycle retardation and thus may influence somatic recombination, we analyzed 214 TEL-AML1-positive ALL by PCR for rearrangements of the immunoglobulin (Ig) and T-cell receptor (TCR) genes. As a control group, 174...
