bcr Rearrangement without juxtaposition of c-abl in chronic myelocytic leukemia
CR Bartram
Southern blot analysis detected a bcr gene rearrangement within leukemic
cells of a Philadelphia chromosome-negative chronic myelocytic leukemia
(CML) patient that led to transcription of a novel 7.3 kb bcr RNA species.
Participation of the c-abl oncogene in this genomic recombination could be
ruled out by in situ hybridization studies and Northern blot analysis.
