title: [Molecular basis of the t(1;22)(p13;q13) specific for human acute megakaryoblastic leukemia].
abstract: The t(1;22)(p13;q13) translocation is specifically associated with infant acute megakaryoblastic leukemia (M7). We have recently characterized the two genes involved in this translocation: OTT (One Two Two) and MAL (Megakaryoblastic Acute Leukemia) respectively located on chromosome 1 and 22. The t(1;22) translocation results in the fusion of these genes in all the cases studied to date. We summarize here present knowledge regarding this translocation.
