ETV6-AML1 Translocation Breakpoints Cluster Near a Purine/Pyrimidine Repeat Region in the ETV6 Gene
1 Jan 1999
Abstract excerpt
The t(12;21)(p13;q22) translocation, fusing the ETV6 and AML1 genes, is the most frequent chromosomal translocation associated with pediatric B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Although the genomic organization of the ETV6 gene and a breakpoint cluster region (bcr) in ETV6 intron 5 has been described, mapping of AML1 breakpoints has been hampered because of the large, hitherto unknown size of AML1...
