Leukemia is often associated with genetic mutations that can lead to the disease, such as chromosomal translocations, particularly involving the BCR-ABL fusion gene in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). These mutations can result from errors during cell division or exposure to certain environmental factors. Additionally, point mutations and deletions in specific genes can also contribute to the development of leukemia. Overall, these mutations disrupt normal cell signaling and proliferation, leading to the uncontrolled growth characteristic of leukemia.

What is the type of mutation that causes Leukemia disorder?
It's a gene mutation. And it is different for each organ.
If your parents have leukemia do you have it?
no of course not. cancer is caused by a mutation in a cell that spreads and not in a sex cell witch is how genes are passed on.
How is leukemia related to the atom bomb?
Leukemia is type of cancer, some say it is caused by a bomb, it is not for sure though.
Can leopard geckos give people Leukemia?
Absolutely NOT ! Leukemia is not a communicable disease - It's a genetic mutation.
What type of mutation is caused by adding one nucleotide into the middle of a sequence?
A frameshift mutation is caused by adding one nucleotide into the middle of a sequence. This type of mutation alters the reading frame of the genetic code, leading to a completely different amino acid sequence downstream of the insertion point.
What is red green color blindness mutation pattern?
what type of mutation is caused by red green color blindness?
How does one get lukemia quickly?
One cannot simply get leukemia quickly, as it is a type of cancer, cancer cannot be sped up. Cancer is a type of mutation within the body to create mutated cells.
Is Huntington's disease caused by a gene mutation or a chromosomal mutation?
Huntington's disease is caused by a gene mutation, specifically in the HTT gene on chromosome 4.
What would happen if UV exposure caused a point mutation where a single base was changed within your DNA sequence?
It would depend upon type and location of point mutation .
What is the type of mutation that causes hemophilia?
There is no single type of mutation that causes Hemophilia A. It is not the type of mutation but rather the location of the mutation within the genetic code.
Is achondroplasia caused by a mutation?
Yes, achondroplasia is primarily caused by a specific mutation in the FGFR3 gene. This mutation leads to abnormal bone growth and results in the characteristic features of achondroplasia, such as short stature and characteristic facial features.
What is the mutation in hemophilia?
Hemophilia is a mutation of either of the genes that make factor VII or IX. Hemophilia A is a mutation of the F8 gene and Hemophilia B is the mutation of the F9 gene. Both of these mutations occur on the sex-linked X chromosome.
