Activation of the T-cell oncogene LMO2 after gene therapy for X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency

TL;DR: In two boys with X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency, a syndrome resembling T-cell leukemia developed in two of the boys, and the retrovirus integrated into the same genomic site, the locus of LMO2, which is involved in childhood lymphocytic leukemia.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Lmo2 Oncogene Initiates Leukemia in Mice by Inducing Thymocyte Self-Renewal

TL;DR: Lmo2 promotes the self-renewal of preleukemic thymocytes, providing a mechanism by which committed T cells can then accumulate additional genetic mutations required for leukemic transformation.
Journal ArticleDOI

The LMO2 T-cell oncogene is activated via chromosomal translocations or retroviral insertion during gene therapy but has no mandatory role in normal T-cell development.

TL;DR: It is concluded that there is no mandatory role for LMO2 in lymphoid development, implying that its specific role in T-cell tumorigenesis results from a reprogramming of gene expression after enforced expression inT-cell precursors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Engineering de novo reciprocal chromosomal translocations associated with Mll to replicate primary events of human cancer.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that developmentally regulated Cre-loxP-mediated interchromosomal recombination between the Mll gene, whose human counterpart is involved in a spectrum of leukemias, and the Enl gene creates reciprocal chromosomal translocations that cause myeloid tumors.
