A workshop held by the "Groupe Frangais de Cytogenetique Hematologique" has identified a t ( I 0 I I)(p I 3-1 4;q 14-2 I) in four acute lyrnphoblastic leukemias of T-cell lineage. The immunophenotypes were consistent with immature thymocytes. This translocation is therefore a new candidate for a rec

โฆ Synopsis
A 1 O-week-old girl without Down syndrome developed an acute megakaryoblastic leukemia (AMKL). Bone marrow aspirates and biopsy showed megakaryoblastic infiltration with myelofibrosis. The diagnosis was made based on the findings that the positive reactions of leukemic cells to platelet peroxidase and to monoclonal antibodies which recognize platelet-specific surface glycoprotein (GP) Ilb/llla and GP78. The blasts also showed myeloid and monocytoid differentiation antigens. The leukemic cells had a karyotype of 46,XX,t(1;22)(~13;q13). Our case and two other infantile cases reported by other investigators establish the novel association of the t(l;22) with AMKL.

## Abstract Recently, it was shown that t(10;16)(q22;p13) fuses the __MORF__ and __CREBBP__ genes in a case of childhood acute myeloid leukemia (AML) M5a, with a complex karyotype containing other rearrangements. Here, we report a new case with the __MORF__โ__CREBBP__ fusion in an 84โyearโold patie
