β¦ Synopsis
An 8 2 I translocation is a common chromosome abnormality associated with acute myeloblastic leukemia with maturation (M2 of French-American-British (FAB) classification). W e have isolated chromosome 2 I Nod linking clones; pulsed field gel electrophoresis analysis with one clone (LL263) detected an altered fragment of Nod-digested leukemic cell D N A carrying t(8;21). The altered fragment was shown to be produced by the 8;21 translocation. The breakpoint in chromosome 21 was located about I 3 kb to I00 kb proximal to the LL263 Nod site. Because the LL263 clone has a CpG island and is a short distance from the breakpoint, the clone itself may be considered as a candidate for part of the t(82 I ) associated gene.

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).
