Deletion of <i>IRF-1</i> , Mapping to Chromosome 5q31.1, in Human Leukemia and Preleukemic Myelodysplasia
12 Feb 1993
Abstract excerpt
One of the most frequent cytogenetic abnormalities in human leukemia and myelodysplasia is an interstitial deletion within chromosome 5q. A tumor suppressor gene has been hypothesized to lie in 5q31, the smallest commonly deleted region. IRF-1, a gene whose product manifests anti-oncogenic activity, was mapped to 5q31.1. IRF-1 lies between IL-5 and CDC25C and is centromeric to IL-3 and GM-CSF. Among these genes,...
