Which translocation and associated hybrid gene formation is exclusively found in acute promyelocytic leukemia?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The translocation t(15;17) results in the fusion of the PML (promyelocytic leukemia) gene with the RAR alpha (retinoic acid receptor alpha) gene, creating the PML-RAR alpha fusion gene. This gene is exclusively found in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) and is an important diagnostic and therapeutic target in this subtype of leukemia. The other translocations mentioned (A) t(8;21), (B) t(4;11), (C) t(9;22), and (E) t(22;9) are associated with other types of leukemia or malignancies.
