Gene amplification is one of the mechanisms for activating proto-oncogenes resulting in an enhanced expression of the corresponding gene product. By fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), amplification of the proto-oncogene MLL has been described only in seven patients with acute myeloid leukemi
