The ABL-BCR fusion gene is expressed in chronic myeloid leukemia
1993-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Although the BCR-ABL hybrid gene on chromosome 22q-plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), little is known of the reciprocal chimeric gene, ABL-BCR, formed on chromosome 9q+. By reverse transcription/polymerase chain reaction amplification (RT/PCR) we have detected ABL-BCR mRNA in cells from 31 of 44 BCR-ABL positive CML patients and 3 of 5 CML cell lines. Of the 34 pos...
