Abstract excerpt
Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is characterized by the presence of promyelocytic leukemia-retinoic acid receptor α (PML-RARα) fusion gene, which is formed following the specific chromosomal translocation t(15;17)(q22;q21). However, cases with PML-RARα generated by occult t(15;17) which are negative by both cytogenetics and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), are difficult to diagnose, leading to...
