Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a hematopoietic malignant disease characterized by the chromosomal translocation t(15;17), resulting in the formation of the PML-RARA gene. Here, 47 t(15;17) APL samples were analyzed with high-density single-nucleotide polymorphism microarray (50-K and 250-K SNP-chips) using the new algorithm AsCNAR (allele-specific copy-number analysis using anonymous references)....
