Association of PML-RAR alpha fusion mRNA type with pretreatment hematologic characteristics but not treatment outcome in acute promyelocytic leukemia: an intergroup molecular study.

Abstract excerpt

In each case of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) one of three PML-RAR alpha mRNA types is produced, depending on the break/fusion site in the PML gene that is linked to a common RAR alpha gene segment: a short (S)-form type, PML exon 3 RAR alpha exon 3; a long (L)-form type, PML exon 6 RAR alpha exon 3; or a variable (V)-form type, variably deleted PML exon 6 RAR alpha exon 3. We evaluated whether PML-RAR alpha...
