The Translocation (6;9), Associated with a Specific Subtype of Acute Myeloid Leukemia, Results in the Fusion of Two Genes, <i>dek</i> and <i>can</i> , and the Expression of a Chimeric, Leukemia-Specific <i>dek-can</i> mRNA

Abstract excerpt
The translocation (6;9) is associated with a specific subtype of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Previously, it was found that breakpoints on chromosome 9 are clustered in one of the introns of a large gene named Cain (can). cDNA probes derived from the 3' part of can detect an aberrant, leukemia-specific 5.5-kb transcript in bone marrow cells from t(6;9) AML patients. cDNA cloning of this mRNA revealed that it is a...
