Altered Myeloid Development and Acute Leukemia in Transgenic Mice Expressing PML-RARα Under Control of Cathepsin G Regulatory Sequences
15 Jan 1997
Abstract excerpt
Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APML) is characterized by abnormal myeloid development, resulting an accumulation of leukemic promyelocytes that are often highly sensitive to retinoic acid. A balanced t(15;17) (q22;q21) reciprocal chromosomal translocation is found in approximately 90% of APML patients; this translocation fuses the PML gene on chromosome 15 to the retinoic acid receptor alpha (RAR alpha) gene on...
