NCIt definition : Human PML wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 15q22 and is approximately
53 kb in length. This allele, which encodes probable transcription factor PML protein,
plays a role in transcription, repair, recombination of DNA and apoptosis through
the formation of specialized bodies (PML bodies) of nuclear proteins. Acute promyelocytic
leukemia is associated with the translocation t(15;17)(q22;q21) of the gene and the
RARA gene.;
NCIt note : The PML gene product is a nuclear matrix protein that functions in early hematopoiesis
and late erythropoiesis (GeneCards).;
