Abstract excerpt
The molecular effects of etoposide in haemopoietic cells suggest that mixed lineage leukaemia (MLL) abnormalities can be biomarkers of patient susceptibility to the genotoxic effects of topoisomerase 2 (topo 2) inhibitors. We have prospectively studied treatment-related MLL cleavage and rearrangement in serial samples from 71 children receiving chemotherapy, using Southern blot analysis and panhandle PCR. The...
