Abstract excerpt
We describe a patient with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), in whom the DNA breakpoint in the BCR-ABL fusion gene was determined to result in a rare e13a3 (b2a3) transcript. The breakpoint in BCR was intron 13, which was 30 bp downstream from exon 13, and the breakpoint in ABL was intron 2, and was 46 bp downstream from exon a2. This case conforms to the mechanism of DNA breakage occurring within ABL intron 2,...
