Abstract excerpt
The t(8;21)(q22;q22) translocation is a non-random chromosomal abnormality frequently found in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with maturation (M2 subtype). We report here the cloning of a gene, named AML1, on chromosome 21 that was found to be rearranged in the leukemic cell DNAs from t(8;21) AML patients. The breakpoints in 16 out of 21 patients were clustered within a limited region of AML1, and...
