Thus, TLS-ERG expression alone induced a leukemogenic program that exhibited similarities to the human disease associated with this translocation.     ///    "Here, we report that retroviral transduction of TLS-ERG, a myeloid leukemia-associated fusion gene, to human cord blood cells results in altered myeloid and arrested erythroid differentiation and a dramatic increase in the proliferative and self-renewal capacity of transduced myeloid progenitors. "    ///    Retroviral transduction of TLS-ERG initiates a leukemogenic program in normal human hematopoietic cells..
