Abstract excerpt
One of the primary reasons behind the pathogenesis of T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is the deregulation of the transcription factor BCL11B. The exon 4 of BCL11B harbors several driver mutations, which abolishes its DNA-binding ability. The high frequency of C > T or G > A conversion in close vicinity of AID (Activation-induced cytidine deaminase)-hotspot motifs in the deregulated gene prompted us to...
