✦ Synopsis
Using a series of yeast artificial chromosomes (YAC) from the 8p I I -I 2 chromosome region, we have analyzed a t(822) translocation present in two patients suffering from acute leukemia by using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). We have identified a YAC that spans the breakpoint in both cases. Genes Chromosom Concer 15: 191-194 (1996).

A subgroup of pleomorphic adenomas of the salivary glands is characterized by translocations involving chromosome 8, with consistent breakpoints at 8q 12. As part of a positional cloning effort to isolate the gene(s) affected by these translocations we now report the mapping of the 8q I 2 breakpoint
## Abstract We have analyzed the type of __MYC/IG__ heavy‐chain locus (__IGH__) rearrangement present in 15 patients affected by t(8; 14)‐positive primary Burkitt's lymphoma or acute lymphoblastic leukemia of the L3 type in an attempt to map in detail the locations of the chromosome 8 and chromosom
## BACKGROUND. The association between t(8;21) and granulocytic sarcoma (GS) is well known, but to the authors' knowledge the prognostic significance of GS in these patients has not been defined clearly. ## METHODS. Between January 1990 and July 1999 174 children with acute myeloid leukemia were
We studied four patients with inv(11)(p15q22) associated with malignant myeloid diseases by using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with phage and cosmid probes mapped and ordered on 11q22-24. Two of the four patients had non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or acute lymphoblastic leukemia as the primary
## Communicated by Jurgen Horst Molecular characterization of chromosomal rearrangements is a powerful resource in identification of genes associated with monogenic disorders. We describe the molecular characterization of a balanced familial chromosomal translocation, t(16;22)(p13.3;q11.2), segreg
