Acute prоmyelоcytic leukemiа (APL) is а subtype оf аcute myelogenous leukemia (AML), a cancer of the blood and bone marrow. In APL, there is an abnormal accumulation of immature granulocytes called promyelocytes. Acute promyelocytic leukemia is characterized by a chromosomal translocation involving the retinoic acid receptor-alpha gene on chromosome 17 (RARα). In ~90% of cases of APL, retinoic acid receptor-alpha (RARα) gene on chromosome 17 is involved in a reciprocal translocation with the promyelocytic leukemia gene (PML) on chromosome 15, a translocation denoted as t(15;17)(q24;q21). Q8A (5 points): Based on the concept of chromosomal territories, explain why t(15;17) translocation happens more often in promyelocytes compared to myeloblasts. Q8B (5 points): Design experiment(s) to prove your model.
