Abstract excerpt
A recurrent t(12;21)(p13;q22) has recently been described in human acute lymphoblastic leukemias (ALLs). This translocation fuses TEL and AML1, two genes previously cloned from translocation breakpoints in myeloid leukemias. In addition, allelic loss of the TEL gene can be detected in 15% to 22% of childhood ALLs. In the present study, we have sought allelic deletions of TEL and the presence of the t(12;21) in 50...
