Identification of a YAC spanning the translocation breakpoint t(8;22) associated with acute monocytic leukemia
Résumé
Using a series of yeast artificial chromosomes (YAC) from the Bp11-12 chromosome region, we have analyzed a t(8;22) translocation present in two patients suffering from acute leukemia by using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). We have identified a YAC that spans the breakpoint in both cases.
