Translocation t(6;9) in acute non-lymphocytic leukaemia results in the formation of a DEK-CAN fusion gene..     ///    "On the 6p- chromosome, the resulting DEK-CAN fusion gene is transcribed into a leukaemia-specific 5.5 kb chimaeric mRNA that encodes a putative DEK-CAN fusion protein. "    ///    "Moreover, the result of the translocation is an invariable DEK-CAN transcript, which can be sensitively monitored by RNA-PCR. "    ///    No transcription could be detected from the reciprocal CAN-DEK fusion on chromosome 9q+.     ///    "However, preliminary localization data and analysis of sequence motifs suggested that DEK-CAN may have a role in transcription regulation.
