Abstract excerpt
Recurrent chromosomal rearrangements at BCL11B are found in human hematopoietic malignancies mostly of T-cell origin. However, it is unclear how this disruption contributes to oncogenesis, because the majority of leukemias express BCL11B from an undisrupted allele. Here, we show that Bcl11b(+/-)p53(+/-) mice exhibited greater susceptibility to lymphomas than Bcl11b(+/+)p53(+/-) mice but most lymphomas retained...
