APL is characterized by three unique features: the accumulation in the bone marrow of tumor cells blocked at the promyelocytic stage of myeloid maturation; the association with chromosomal translocations that invariably involve the Retinoic Acid Receptor a (RARa) locus; and the exquisite sensitivity of APL blasts to the differentiating action of Retinoic Acid (RA).
RARa is a well-known transcription factor implicated in controlling developmental processes as well as myelopoiesis.
In a few cases of APL, the RARa gene translocates and fuses to the PLZF or NPM or NUMA genes.

Transgenic mouse studies demonstrate that X-RARa (where X is one of the alternative RARa fusion partners: PML, PLZF, NPM, NuMA or STAT5b) plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of APL.
And especially how the chromatin-bound X-RARa versus wild-type RARa influences the local chromatin structure and transcription, and also how X-RARa versus RARa interacts with chromatin remodeling coregulators in the context of chromatin are also largely unknown.
The fact that the RARa gene is involved in each of the APL-translocations suggests that disruption of normal RARa function is critical for disease pathogenesis.

The translocation t(15;17)(q22;q21) is the prototype rearrangement found in the vast majority of acute promyelocytic leukemias, being found in >95% of APL cases.
In this chromosomal rearrangement, the retinoic acid receptor α(RARA) gene on chromosome 17 is fused with the PML gene on chromosome 15.
All breakpoints fuse a portion of the PML gene to a consistent breakpoint region within the RARA gene.

Similarly, arsenic trioxide is beneficial in APL patients who have failed or have contraindications for treatment with anthracycline or retinoid -based therapy.
Genetically, APL is characterized by a unique chromosomal anomaly: More than 99% of APL patients harbor a translocation between chromosomes 15 and 17, which fuses the retinoic acid receptor alpha (RARA) gene on chromosome 17 with the PML gene on chromosome 15.
A short or a long transcript isoform is produced, depending on the PML breakpoint; the short isoform has been linked to poor outcome, but this association remains controversial.
