The YPEL5–PPP1CB fusion transcript is detected in different hematological malignancies and in normal samples

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most frequent leukemia in Western adults. It was suggested that transcripts from a reciprocal trans-splicing event between YPEL5 and PPP1CB were present exclusively in CLL patients (more than 90%). Here we show that the YPEL5–PPP1CB fusion is not specific fo...
