The t(12;21) of acute lymphoblastic leukemia results in a tel-AML1 gene fusion
15 Jun 1995
Abstract excerpt
Analysis of a growing number of chromosomal translocations in human tumors have shown that they frequently result in gene fusions encoding chimeric proteins. We have characterized the recurrent t(12;21)(p12;q22) translocation present in human B-lineage acute leukemias. This translocation fused two genes, tel and AML1, that have previously been described in chromosomal translocations specific for myeloid...
