The t(5;17) variant of acute promyelocytic leukemia expresses a nucleophosmin-retinoic acid receptor fusion
1 Feb 1996
Abstract excerpt
We have studied an acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) patient with a variant t(5;17)(q32;q12). This translocation fuses the gene for the nucleolar phosphoprotein nucleophosmin (NPM) to the retinoic acid receptor alpha (RARA). Two alternatively spliced transcripts are expressed, which differ in 129 bases immediately upstream of the RARA sequence. The NPM sequences contained in the shorter NPM-RAR cDNA are...
