Abstract excerpt
Alterations in the IKZF1 gene are associated with poor prognosis in pediatric B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). We examined the relationship between IKZF1 alterations and clinical findings in 78 adult patients with B-ALL. Aberrant isoforms of IKZF1 were detected using RT-PCR. The copy numbers of IKZF1 exons and fusion genes caused by exon deletions were determined using RQ-PCR and genomic PCR,...
