TEL gene rearrangement in acute lymphoblastic leukemia: a new genetic marker with prognostic significance.
1 Mar 1997
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: TEL gene rearrangements due to the 12;21 chromosomal translocation are the most common molecular genetic abnormality in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), occurring in approximately 25% of cases with a B-precursor immunophenotype. The limited number of clinically useful genetic markers in this leukemia subtype prompted us to assess TEL status as a predictor of treatment outcome. PATIENTS AND...
