Prevalence and clinical correlations of MLL gene rearrangements in AML- M4/5
1 Dec 1994
Abstract excerpt
Rearrangements of the human trithorax gene (MLL, HRX, Htrx-1, All-1) were studied by Southern blotting in blast cells stored at presentation from 65 adults with de novo acute myelomonocytic (AML-M4) and acute monocytic leukemia (AML-M5).
