Abstract excerpt
Deletions and chromosomal translocations involving the 1p32 region, are frequently observed in T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). One of the most common genetic changes is the breakage of the TAL1 gene, which was originally described to be involved in the T-ALL carrying the t(1;14)(p32;q11) translocation. Site-specific deletions in the TAL1 gene are reported to occur in 12-26% of T-ALL with apparently...
