A reciprocal chromosomal translocation, t( I 5; I7)(q22;q I I .2-I2), is characteristic of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) of French-American-British (FAB) subtype M3, and is not associated with any other human malignancy. The non-random pattern of the APL translocations suggests that specific ge

Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a morphologically distinct subtype of acute nonlymphocytic leukemia (ANLL) characterized cytogenetically by the presence of a translocation between chromosomes 15 and 17 (t(15;17)). In contrast to other subtypes of ANLL, morphologic examination of the bone marro
## Abstract The genomic breakpoints in the t(15;17)(q22;q21), associated with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), are known to occur within three different __PML__ breakpoint cluster regions (bcr) on chromosome 15 and within __RARA__ intron 2 on chromosome 17; however, the precise mechanism by whic
D N A studies of the translocation t( 15; 17) in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) have shown that the retinoic acid receptor alpha (RARA) gene on chromosorne I7 is juxtaposed to the promyelocytic leukemia (PML) gene on chromosome 15. The PML breakpoints have been mapped to1 3 clusters: bcr I, bcr2
