Abstract excerpt
MLL gene aberrations are frequently diagnosed in infant acute myeloid leukemia (AML). We previously described the MLL-NEBL and NEBL-MLL genomic fusions in an infant AML patient with a chromosomal translocation t(10;11)(p12;q23). NEBL was the second Nebulin family member (LASP1, NEBL) which was found to be involved in MLL rearrangements. Here, we report on our attempts to unravel the oncogenic properties of both...
