The relative risk of developing LSA is ___ times higher in FeLV positive cats.
62
How does FeSV form?
Via recombination of FeLV DNA provirus with cat porto-oncogenes –> when FeLV-derived DNA inserts near a photo-oncogene and takes up the porto-oncogene into the FeLV provirus, formation of FeSV results.

JAK2
What are the analogous chromosomes in dogs to the Philadelphia chromosome in people?
Philadelphia = BCR-ABL translocation btw chromosomes 9 and 22
Analogous in dogs = chromosomes 9 and 26 (Raleigh chromosome)
Associated with CML
