Abstract

The three members of the jun proto-oncogene family c-jun, jun b and jun D were mapped on the mouse chromosome by in situ hybridization. The c-jun locus is on chromosome 4 subregion C5----C7, whereas jun B and jun D are co-localized on chromosome 8 subregion C. RFLP analysis of interspecific hybrids confirmed the mapping of jun B and D and showed that they are situated about 7.3 +/- 3.5 cM apart. Thus despite their possible origin from a single ancestral gene they are not closely linked on the chromosome. Using the same probes, we showed that the human genome also contains sequences homologous to the mouse jun B and jun D. They are located on human chromosome 19 p13.2, a region that may be involved in chromosomal translocation in acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), acute nonlymphocytic leukemia (ANLL) and malignant melanoma (MEL). Finally, the present data identify a new segmental homology between mouse and human chromosomes.

Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disease with approximately 20,000 cases per year in the United States. AML also accounts for 15-20% of all childhood acute leukemias, while it is responsible for more than half of the leukemic deaths in these patients. Here is the latest research on this disease.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
