A workshop held by the "Groupe Frangais de Cytogenetique Hematologique" has identified a t ( I 0 I I)(p I 3-1 4;q 14-2 I) in four acute lyrnphoblastic leukemias of T-cell lineage. The immunophenotypes were consistent with immature thymocytes. This translocation is therefore a new candidate for a rec

β¦ Synopsis
An unusual hematologic neoplasia has been described recently in which the predominant clinical features include T-cell lymphoma, myeloid hyperplasia, and eosinophilia. The multilineage involvement in this disorder suggests transformation of a primitive stem cell. Abnormal karyotypes have been described in three such cases, including one case with t(8; I3)(p I I .2;q 12) and a second case with t(8; I 3)(p23;q 14). We report translocation of chromosomes 8 and I 3 in lymph node karyotypes from two patients with this syndrome. Fluorescence in situ hybridization confirmed an identical translocation, t(8; I 3)(p I I ;q I I -I2), in lymphoma cells from each patient. The translocation breakpoints are of particular interest because the FLJ3 receptor tyrosine kinase gene has been mapped to 13q 12. FLT3 is expressed highly in hematopoietic progenitor cells and in myeloid and lymphoid acute leukemias. Genes Chromosom Cancer 12: 148-15 I ( I 995);

Abnormalities of chromosome 14 involving band q32.33 are among the most commonly observed cytogenetic alterations in B-cell malignancies. To assess the incidence and pathogenetic implications of 14q32.33 translocation in chronic B-cell leukemia/lymphomas, we performed fluorescence in situ hybridizat
## Abstract The chimeric gene __NUP98/HOXC13__ was detected in a patient with a de novo acute myeloid leukemia and a t(11;12)(p15;q13). Fluorescence in situ hybridization with PAC1173K1 identified the breakpoint on 11p15, indicating that the __NUP98__ gene was involved in the translocation. At 12q1

We used fluorescence in situ hybridization to characterize the molecular position of the breakpoints in a t(8;13)(p11;q12) reciprocal translocation from a patient with an atypical myeloproliferative disorder. This structural chromosome abnormality is characteristic of this specific disease and occur
