β¦ Synopsis
Fifteen cases of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with translocations involving 9p and/or I2p are described. Four children, three males and one female, age range 1-8 yrs. had translocations involving 9p but not I2p. O f these, three had B-lineage ALL and one had biphenotypic T-ALL/acute myeloid leukemia. Six patients, three males and three females, age range I 4 9 yrs, had translocations involving 12p but not 9p. Five had B-lineage ALL and one had T-ALL. One patient had dic(7;12)(pl I;pl I), confirming that this previously reported translocation is nonrandom in ALL. One patient had t(2; I2)(q I4;p 13). and it is suggested that this may also be a new nonrandom abnormality. Five patients, four males and one female, age range I 1-2 I yrs, had common ALL and dic(9; 12). The dic(9; 12) appears to confer a better prognosis than do other translocations involving 9p or 12p.

In a survey of childhood therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia/myelodysplastic syndrome (t-AML/MDS) in Japan, we found 11p15 translocations in 5 (6%) of 81 children with t-AML/MDS. t(11;17)(p15;q21), t(11;12)(p15;q13), t(7;11)(p15;p15), inv(11)(p15q22), and add(11)(p15) were each found in one patie
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
