Abstract excerpt
Alternative genetic pathways were previously outlined in the pathogenesis of therapy-related myelodysplasia (t-MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (t-AML) based on cytogenetic characteristics. Some of the chromosome aberrations, the recurrent balanced translocations or inversions, directly result in chimeric rearrangement of genes for hematopoietic transcription factors (class II mutations) which disturb cellular...
