## Abstract We report detailed immunological, cytogenetic and molecular evidence for complete identity of the leukemic cell populations in monozygotic female twins with concordant leukemia diagnosed at two months of age. Both infants had early preβB acute lymphoblastic leukemia with the (11;19)(q23
## Abstract High hyperdiploidy (>50 chromosomes) in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is characterized by nonrandom multiple trisomies and tetrasomies involving in particular chromosomes X, 4, 6, 8, 10, 14, 17, 18, and 21. This characteristic karyotypic pattern, the most common in pediat
## Abstract Previous studies involving identical twins with concordant leukemia and retrospective scrutiny of archived neonatal blood spots have shown that common chromosome translocations of pediatric leukemia frequently arise before birth. The __IGH/TCR__ clonotypic sequences used as surrogate mo
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common form of childhood cancer. The peak incidence of ALL between ages 2 and 5 is accounted for by one subtype, referred to as common acute lymphoblastic leukemia (cALL). About 25% of cALL patients have the TEL-AML1 gene fusion derived from the t(12;21
