Abstract
The PLZF gene is one of five partners fused to the retinoic acid receptor alpha in acute promyelocytic leukemia. PLZF encodes a DNA-binding transcriptional repressor and the PLZF-RARalpha fusion protein like other RARalpha fusions can inhibit the genetic program mediated by the wild tpe retinoic acid receptor. However an increasing body of literature indicates an important role for the PLZF gene in growth control and development. This information suggests that loss of PLZF function might also contribute to leukemogenesis.Entities:
