β¦ Synopsis
Translocations involving I I q23 are recurring abnormalities in human acute leukemia cells of either lymphoid or rnyeloid lineage. Analysis of I 3 variant translocations associated with four of these [t(4; I I), t(6; I I), t(9; I I ) and t( I I ; I9)] reveals that the der( I I) chromosome is conserved in all of them and therefore contains the critical genetic rearrangement. The M l L gene (myeloidl lymphoid leukemia) is involved in each of these translocations. It is transcribed from centromere to telomere. The present analysis indicates that the 5' region of M l L on the der( I I) is juxtaposed to the coding sequences of genes on each of the other translocation partners.

## Abstract Thirteen cosmid probes were mapped on the long arm of chromosome 11 between 11q22 and 11q24 by nonradioactive in situ hybridization. Starting with these localizations and those of other probes mapped to 11q23, four acute leukemias with translocations involving 11q23 were studied with th
The MLL gene at chromosome 11, band q23, is involved in translocations with as many as 40 different chromosomal bands. Virtually all breakpoints occur within an 8.3 kb BamHI fragment and result in 5' MLL fused to partner genes in a 5'-3' orientation. The translocation t(9;11)(p22;q23), which results
The nucleoporin gene NUP98 has been reported to be fused to 9 partner genes in hematologic malignancies with 11p15 translocations. The NUP98-HOXA9 fusion gene has been identified in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and chronic myelogenous leukemia with t(7;11)(p15;p15). We report here a novel NUP98 part
Chromosomal analysis of acute monocytic leukemia cells in a female infant revealed a t(6;11)(q27;q23) translocation. Southern blot analysis with a cDNA probe of the MLL gene at chromosome band 11q23 indicated that the breakpoint was in an 8.3-kb BamHI fragment that contained exons 5-11 of the MLL ge
