Fusion gene‐mediated truncation of <i>RUNX1</i> as a potential mechanism underlying disease progression in the 8p11 myeloproliferative syndrome
29 Mar 2007
Abstract excerpt
The 8p11 myeloproliferative syndrome (EMS) is a chronic myeloproliferative disorder molecularly characterized by fusion of various 5' partner genes to the 3' part of the fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) gene at 8p, resulting in constitutive activation of the tyrosine kinase activity contained within FGFR1. EMS is associated with a high risk of transformation to acute myeloid leukemia (AML), but the...
