Abstract

Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a distinct subtype of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cytogenetically characterized by a balanced reciprocal translocation between chromosomes 15 and 17, which results in the fusion between the promyelocytic leukemia (PML) gene and retinoic acid receptor-α (RARα) [...].
