Chromosomal analysis of acute monocytic leukemia cells in a female infant revealed a t(6;11)(q27;q23) translocation. Southern blot analysis with a cDNA probe of the MLL gene at chromosome band 11q23 indicated that the breakpoint was in an 8.3-kb BamHI fragment that contained exons 5-11 of the MLL ge

Abstract
In situ hybridization was performed in a case of acute monoblastic leukemia (FAB type M5b) with a rearrangement of the long arm of chromosome 11. Cytogenetic analysis after R‐ and G‐banding showed an apparent deletion of 11q with a breakpoint at 11q23, and a translocation t(6;11) was suspected in certain metaphases. In situ hybridization with a biotinylated cosmid probe hybridizing at 11q25 confirmed the translocation t(6;11)(q27;q23). Use of nonradioactive in situ hybridization techniques for more precise characterization of chromosomal rearrangements in malignant cells is emphasized.

A new case of translocation t(6;11)(q21;q23) in a patient with therapy-related acute myeloblastic leukemia is reported. The translocation results in fusion of the MLL and AF6q21 genes. The breakpoint with AF6q21 is located within the sequences encoding the AF6q21 fork head motif. The similar locatio
