Abstract excerpt
Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is characterized by the expansion of blasts that resemble morphologically promyelocytes and harbor a chromosomal translocation involving the retinoic acid receptor alpha (RARalpha) and the promyelocytic leukemia (PML) genes on chromosomes 17 and 15, respectively. The expression of the PML/RARalpha fusion gene is essential for APL genesis. In fact, transgenic mice (TM) expressing...
