DNA crosslinking and recombination‐activating genes 1/2 (RAG1/2) are required for oncogenic splicing in acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Abstract Background Abnormal alternative splicing is frequently associated with carcinogenesis. In B‐cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B‐ALL), double homeobox 4 fused with immunoglobulin heavy chain (DUX4/IGH) can lead to the aberrant production of E‐26 transformation‐specific family related gene a...
