## Abstract A new complex rearrangement involving chromosome bands 5q13, 12p13, 22q11, and 3q12 was identified and characterized in a patient with acute myeloid leukemia. Fluorescence in situ hybridization showed the involvement of the __ETV6__ gene in 12p13. __ETV6__ primers were specifically desi

## Abstract In childhood Bβlineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), the most common genetic change, the __ETV6βCBFA2__ (__TELβAML1__) fusion resulting from the cryptic t(12;21)(p13;q22) is associated with a favorable outcome. Therefore, it is important to identify patients with this translocatio
Deletion of the 9p21 chromosomal region is frequently found in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The target of these deletions is CDKN2A, a gene encoding both p16(INK4a) and p14(ARF). However, contiguous genes such as CDKN2B, encoding p15(INK4b), or MTAP, encoding methylthioadenosine pho
