EVI1 overexpression in t(3;17) positive myeloid malignancies results from juxtaposition of EVI1 to the MSI2 locus at 17q22
24 Sept 2008
Abstract excerpt
Chromosomal translocations involving the EVI1 locus are a recurrent finding in myeloid leukemia and are associated with poor prognosis. In this study, we performed a detailed molecular characterization of the recurrent translocation t(3;17)(q26;q22) in 13 hematologic malignancies. The EVI1 gene locus was rearranged in all 13 patients and was associated with EVI1 overexpression. In 9 out of 13 patients, the 17q...
