Preferential transcription of the mutated allele in NPM1 mutated acute myeloid leukaemia.

Abstract excerpt

Nucleophosmin is commonly both over-expressed and mutated in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). NPM1 mutations are always heterozygous. In addition, NPM1 has a number of different splice variants with the major variant encoded by exons 1-9 and 11-12 (NPM1.1). Further variants include NPM1.2 which lacks exons 8 and 10 and NPM1.3 which comprises exons 1-10 (and so lacks the region of sequence mutated in AML). In this...
