Abstract
Cloning of chromosome translocation breakpoints have identified abnormal gene products which contribute to the pathogenesis of hematologic malignancy. Examples include the PML-RARα fusion associated with t(15; 17) acute promyelocytic leukemia (APML)(1’3), the AMLl-ETO fusion associated with t(8;21) acute myeloid leukemia (4), the CBFβ-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).
