Abstract excerpt
Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is characterized by a unique genetic aberration, the t(15;17) chromosome translocation. Translocation breakpoints are located within the promyelocytic leukemia (PML) locus on chromosome 15 and the retinoic acid receptor alpha (RARA) locus on chromosome 17. In the past 2 decades, critical advances have been made in understanding the molecular pathogenesis of APL. APL represents a...
