Incidence of TEL/AML1 Fusion Gene Analyzed Consecutively in Children With Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in Relapse
15 Dec 1997
Abstract excerpt
The translocation t(12; 21)(p13; q22) is difficult to detect by classic cytogenetics. However, using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and by screening for the TEL/AML1 rearrangement by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), it has been demonstrated to be the most frequent known structural chromosomal abnormality in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). It is closely correlated with a B-cell...
