Abstract excerpt
The recurrent (12;21)(p13;q22) translocation fuses the two genes TEL and AML1 that have previously been cloned from translocation breakpoints in myeloid leukemias. Using mainly reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), the TEL-AML1 chimeric transcript has been observed in 22-27% o...
