Rearrangement of the MLL Gene in Acute Lymphoblastic and Acute Myeloid Leukemias with 11q23 Chromosomal Translocations
23 Sept 1993
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Translocations involving chromosome band 11q23 are very frequent in both acute lymphoblastic and acute myeloid leukemias and are the most common genetic alteration in infants with leukemia. In all age groups and all phenotypes of leukemia, an 11q23 translocation carries a poor prognosis. A major question has been whether one or several genes on band 11q23 are implicated in these leukemias. Previously,...
