Popis: Chromosomal translocations have provided valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms of leukemogenesis in humans. Examples of genes implicated in pathogenesis of hematologic malignancy by virtue of involvement in translocation breakpoints include the PML-RARa fusion associated with t(15;17) acute promyelocytic leukemia (APML, refs. 1–3), the AML1-ETO fusion associated with t(8;21) acute myeloid leukemia (AML, ref.4), the CBFs-MYHII fusion associated with inv(16) acute myelomonocytic leukemia and eosinophilia (5), and MLL fusions at 11q23 breakpoints with various fusion proteins associated with acute myeloid leukemias (6).
