β¦ Synopsis
A new chromosome anomaly in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is reported. Three, possibly four, patients showed an identical karyotype anomaly, characterized by a (4;11)(q13;q22) reciprocal translocation. This anomaly has not so far been found in lymphoproliferative disorders other than ALL. Two of the patients had congenital leukemia, but the anomaly described appears to be more characteristic of ALL than of congenital leukemia, and may help the clinician in establishing the diagnosis of ALL.

Loss of chromosome 20 and rearrangement of the short arm of chromosome 9 were identified by banding analysis of three adult patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The G-banding pattern suggested an identical deletion of 9p, but, also, an unbalanced translocation with chromosome 20 was tak
Monosomy 21 and metacentric markers corresponding in size to chromosomes 8 to 12 were found as the only clonal chromosomal changes in a child with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Chromosome painting with a whole chromosome 2 I -specific probe showed that the marker originated from chromosome 2 I
## Abstract Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) studies were performed in three cases of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with marker chromosomes to analyze the contribution of chromosome 21 in these markers. FISH with a chromosome 21 painting probe confirmed that chromosome 21 was involved
