Abstract excerpt
Translocations of the MLL gene at chromosome band 11q23 are the most common cytogenetic alterations in de novo leukemia in infants and in leukemia related to chemotherapy with DNA topoisomerase II inhibitors. Experiments on knock-in mice suggest that additional mutational events may by required f...
