## Abstract The t(1;21)(p36;q22) is a recurrent chromosome abnormality associated with therapy‐related acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Although involvement of __RUNX1__ has been detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis, the partner gene has not been reported previously. We identified a

✦ Synopsis
Abstract
Recently, it was shown that t(10;16)(q22;p13) fuses the MORF and CREBBP genes in a case of childhood acute myeloid leukemia (AML) M5a, with a complex karyotype containing other rearrangements. Here, we report a new case with the MORF‐CREBBP fusion in an 84‐year‐old patient diagnosed with AML M5b, in which the t(10;16)(q22;p13) was the only cytogenetic aberration. This supports that this is a recurrent pathogenic translocation in AML. © 2003 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

We describe a boy with Fanconi anemia (FA) who developed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) (FAB-L1) followed by acute myeloid leukemia (AML) (FAB-M5) at relapse. The patient was diagnosed with early pre-B-cell ALL without preceding aplastic anemia and was treated with ALL-oriented chemotherapy whic
## Abstract The t(8;16)(p11;p13) fuses the __MOZ__ (__MYST3__) gene at 8p11 with __CBP__ (__CREBBP__) at 16p13 and is associated with an infrequent but well‐defined type of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has unique morphocytochemical findings (monocytoid blast morphology with erythrophagocytosis
The ETV6 gene is a member of the ETS family of transcription factors and the main target of chromosomal rearrangements affecting chromosome band 12p13. To date, more than 15 fusion partners of ETV6 have been characterized at the molecular level. Most of these fusions encode chimeric proteins with on
## Abstract __RUNX1__ (previously __AML1__) is involved in multiple recurrent chromosomal rearrangements in hematological malignances. Recently, we identified a novel fusion between __RUNX1__ and __LPXN__ from an acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patient with t(11;21)(q12;q22). This translocation genera
