Abstract excerpt
The balanced t(15;17) rearrangement found in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) cells fuses PML on chromosome 15 to the retinoic acid receptor alpha (RAR alpha) on chromosome 17. PML/RAR alpha is expressed in APL cells with the non-rearranged alleles, PML and RAR alpha. Clinical remissions induced by all-trans-retinoic acid (RA) treatment of APL patients are linked to expression of PML/RAR apha, a transcription...
