An AML1/ETO fusion transcript is consistently detected by RNA-based polymerase chain reaction in acute myelogenous leukemia containing the (8;21)(q22;q22) translocation
1 Jun 1993
Abstract excerpt
The 8;21 translocation is one of the most common chromosomal translocations in acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), accounting for 40% of pediatric AML with French-American-British (FAB)-M2 morphology. The chromosomal breakpoints have recently been identified at the molecular level and shown to involve the AML1 gene on chromosome 21 and the ETO gene on chromosome 8. Translocation results in the consistent fusion of...
