## Abstract The __TEL/AML1__ rearrangement has been implicated as an independent good prognostic factor in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). We examined __TEL/AML1__ using nested reverseβtranscription polymerase chain reaction (RTβPCR) and correlated __TEL/AML1__ with cytogenetics and i
TEL/AML1 gene fusion is the most frequent genetic lesion in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). It occurs as a consequence of the cryptic chromosomal translocation t(12;21)(p13;q22). In a cohort of 50 RT-PCR-positive TEL/AML1 patients, karyotype examination by GTG banding and fluorescence
