Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The ETV6 gene has been reported to be fused to a multitude of partner genes in various hematologic malignancies with 12p13 aberrations. Cytogenetic analysis of six cases of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia revealed a novel recurrent t(8;12)(q13;p13), suggesting involvement of ETV6. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Fluorescence in situ hybridization was used to confirm the involvement of ETV6 in the...
