Abstract excerpt
Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is typically associated with the t(15;17) that generates the PML-RARA fusion protein. Animal models have shown that although the fusion protein is necessary, it is insufficient for the development of APL, implying that additional mechanisms are responsible for full-blown leukemia. The mutation of specific genes has been implicated in leukemogenesis; however, alterations in gene...
