Abstract

Congenital complex chromosomal rearrangement (CCR) compatible with life are rare in man. We report on a new case of apparently balanced CCR in a 30‐month‐old boy with mental retardation and minor anomalies.

This CCR consists in a 3‐way reciprocal translocation (2;3;16) and an insertion (6;7), as it was analyzed by different banding and high resolution techniques.

It involves 6 breakpoints: 2q11, 13q12, 16p11, 6p21.3, 7q21.3 and 7q35.

## Abstract Patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and a complex aberrant karyotype have a poor outcome despite intensive antileukemic treatment. The aim of this study was to analyze in detail the genetic abnormalities in this subgroup of AML. Therefore, 125 AML cases with complex aberrant kary
