Abstract excerpt
TEL-TRKC is a fusion gene generated by chromosomal translocation and encodes an activated tyrosine kinase. Uniquely, it is found in both solid tumors and leukemia. However, a single exon difference (in TEL) in TEL-TRKC fusions is associated with the two sets of cancer phenotypes. We expressed the two TEL-TRKC variants in vivo by using the 3' regulatory element of SCL that is selectively active in a subset of...
