New types of MYST3-CBP and CBP-MYST3 fusion transcripts in t(8;16)(p11;p13) acute myeloid leukemias
Abstract
The t(8;16)(p11;p13) translocation, associated with poor prognosis acute monocytic leukemia, fuses MYST3 on chromosome region 8p11 to CBP on chromosome region 16p13. Two types of MYST3-CBP and CBP-MYST3 fusion transcripts have been identified in patients. We describe two new types of MYST3-CBP transcripts and a new primer set.
