## Abstract Thirteen cosmid probes were mapped on the long arm of chromosome 11 between 11q22 and 11q24 by nonradioactive in situ hybridization. Starting with these localizations and those of other probes mapped to 11q23, four acute leukemias with translocations involving 11q23 were studied with th

β¦ Synopsis
Several non-random translocation breakpoints associated with leukemia or lymphoma have been shown t o occur in chromosome band I I q23 between the genes CD3G and PBGD, a distance of approximately 750 kb. A combination of yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) cloning, in situ hybridization. and pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) experiments has further refined the interval containing one of these breakpoints, t(4;l l)(q2l;q23), to within 200 kb of CD3G. W e have extended the PFGE analysis to show that the t(4;l I ) breakpoint lies in a region of approximately 100 kb, situated 100 kb distal to CD3G. Furthermore, we show that a second I I q23 breakpoint, t( I I ; I4)(q23;q32). which was also previously mapped between CD3G and PBGD, is distinct from that of the t(4;l I) chromosome. The I I q23 sequences that are involved at the t( I 1;14) breakpoint are not present in a YAC containing the t(4; I I ) breakpoint. The t ( I I ; 14) breakpoint has been localized on the PFGE map of the CD3GPBGD interval and is at least I 10 kb distal to the t(4; I I) breakpoint, thus demonstrating heterogeneity among I lq23 breakpoints.

The human trithorax homolog gene (MLL) is directly involved in over 90% of cases of acute leukemia with abnormalities of I I q23. However, involvement of other genes at I I q23 both centromeric and telomeric of MLL has been identified in different subtypes of leukemia and lymphoma. We describe a cas
The inv( I4)(q I lq32) is a non-random chromosomal aberration which has been associated with a variety of T-cell malignancies. W e have studied a case of inv( I4)(q I I q32) that is unique in several respects. First, the inversion, which is expressed at the rnRNA level, occurred in the context of a
We present a 34-year-old man with an unbalanced translocation between the long arms of chromosome 4 and chromosome 11. He had manifestations of monosomy 11(q23)--minor facial anomalies, abnormal head shape, cryptorchidism; trisomy 4(q32)--hirsutism, renal disease; and manifestations attributable to
