A study was conducted to determine the relationships between egg and newly hatched larvae Ž . sizes and growth and survival of Siberian sturgeon Acipenser baeri during early stages of development. We hypothesised that this may lead to improved rearing techniques and hatchery Ž . management. Eggs mean size 2.8–4.1 mm were obtained from 20 cultured 13–14 years old Ž . females. There was a positiv...

Dear Editor, CML is characterized by reciprocal t(9;22)(q34;q11) translocation, which generates the BCR/ABL1 protein; that protein plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of CML. CML patients commonly harbor BCR-ABL1 fusion transcripts of types b3a2 (e14a2) or b2a2 (e13a2), while types e1a2 or e19a2 are less common. CML cases with b2a3-type fusion, in which the ABL1 exon 3 (a3) rather than ex...

Dear Editor, The translocation (9;12)(q34;p13) ETV6/ABL1 rearrangement is a rare but recurrent chromosomal translocation associated with a variety of hematological malignancies, including CML, atypical CML, AML, and ALL [1]. The structure of the ETV6/ABL1 oncoprotein is similar to that of BCR/ABL1, and they initiate similar downstream pathways [2]. There are two ETV6/ABL1 fusion isoforms: the t...
