Phenotypic Enhancement

A genetic interaction is inferred when mutation or overexpression of one gene results in enhancement of any phenotype (other than lethality/growth defect) associated with mutation or over expression of another gene.

Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is a clonal stem cell disease caused by the BCR-ABL oncoprotein and is characterized, in its early phase, by excessive accumulation of mature myeloid cells, which eventually leads to acute leukemia. The genetic events involved in CML's progression to acute leukemia remain largely unknown. Recent studies have detected the presence of the NUP98-HOXA9 fusion oncogene in ... [more]
