Therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia–like MLL rearrangements are induced by etoposide in primary human CD34+ cells and remain stable after clonal expansion
4 Nov 2004
Abstract excerpt
Rearrangements involving the MLL gene on chromosome band 11q23 are a hallmark of therapy-related acute myeloid leukemias following treatment with topoisomerase II poisons including etoposide. Therapy-related and de novo genomic translocation breakpoints cluster within a well-characterized 8.3-kb fragment of MLL. Repair of etoposide-stabilized DNA topoisomerase II covalent complexes may initiate MLL rearrangements...
