CBFB-SMMHC is correlated with increased calreticulin expression and suppresses the granulocytic differentiation factor CEBPA in AML with inv(16)
26 Apr 2005
Abstract excerpt
The pericentric inversion of chromosome 16, inv(16)(p13q22), is associated with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) subtype M4Eo that is characterized by the presence of myelomonocytic blasts and atypical eosinophils. This rearrangement fuses the CBFB and MYH11 genes, with the latter encoding the smooth muscle myosin heavy chain (SMMHC). The myeloid transcription factor CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha (CEBPA) is...
