Abstract excerpt
Aberrant expression of transcription factor oncogenes such as HOX11, HOX11L2, TAL1/SCL, LYL1, LMO1, and LMO2 can be detected in lymphoblasts from up to 80% of patients with acute T-cell lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). Transcriptional activation of these oncogenes in leukemic cells typically results from chromosomal rearrangements that place them next to highly active cis-acting transcriptional regulatory...
