Identification of complex genomic breakpoint junctions in the t(9;11) <i>MLL‐AF9</i> fusion gene in acute leukemia
1 Oct 1997
Abstract excerpt
The MLL gene at chromosome 11, band q23, is involved in translocations with as many as 40 different chromosomal bands. Virtually all breakpoints occur within an 8.3 kb BamHI fragment and result in 5' MLL fused to partner genes in a 5'-3' orientation. The translocation t(9;11)(p22;q23), which results in the fusion of MLL to AF9, is the most common of the 11q23 chromosomal abnormalities observed in de novo acute...
