Identification of a breakpoint cluster region 3' of the ribophorin I gene at 3q21 associated with the transcriptional activation of the EVI1 gene in acute myelogenous leukemias with inv(3)(q21q26)

Abstract excerpt

Structural alterations occur in the long arm of chromosome 3 in approximately 2% of patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The major alterations are inv(3)(q21q26) and t(3:3)(q21;q26) and are often classified as the 3q21q26 syndrome. We previously reported that the EVI1 gene is transcriptionally activated in AMLs with t(3;3)(q21;q26) and inv(3)(q21q26) and that the...
