Abstract:Insight into the role of recurrent genomic changes arising in leukemia has depended largely on the functional analysis of cell lines and transgenic animals. However not all acquired abnormalities are represented in available cell lines and a few are too complex to be faithfully engineered in animal models. One such abnormality is intrachromosomal amplification of chromosome 21 (iAMP21), a heterogeneous cytogenetic rearrangement, with a distinct clinical profile, occurring in 2% of childhood B-cell precursor ac… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
