abstractText | High resolution chromosome analysis was performed on bone marrow cells from four patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia and t(15;17), and in lymphocytes from two unrelated, phenotypically normal persons with an apparently identical constitutional translocation. Scrutiny of prophase-prometaphase chromosomes localized the breakpoints in all six cases to subbands 15q22.3 and 17q11.2. Molecular genetic studies have localized the oncogene c-erbA to chromosome #17 between the breakpoints of the constitutional and the acquired anomaly. The present results, therefore, map c-erbA to subband 17q11.2. |
