t(1;7)(p36;q34)
| Identity |
 | |
| partial karyotype (G-banding) showing the t(1;7)(p36;q34) | |
| Clinics and Pathology |
| Disease | acute non lymphocytic leukemia (ANLL), presenting as a de novo condition or after preceeding myelodysplastic syndrome or exposure to myelotoxic agents |
| Phenotype / cell stem origin | M2/M4 by FAB criteria, frequently with trilineage myelodysplasia: positivity for myeloid markers (i.e. CD13, CD33) as well as for CD117, CD34 and TdT; lymphoid-associated markers tested negative in the reported cases |
| Epidemiology | the frequency of this anomaly in ANLL is < 1% |
| Prognosis | the cells may be susceptible to chemotherapy since all reported cases achieved complete remission, despite the presence of other unfavourable prognostic factors |
| Cytogenetics |
| Note | this translocation may be related to a 1p;7q translocation described in myelodysplastic syndrome, whereas it must be distinguished from the T-ALL associated t(1;7)(p32;q34), involving the TCR gene and a more proximal breakpoint on 7q |
| Cytogenetics Morphological | the translocation is easy to visualize in G-banded preparations because the dark 7q35 band moves on top of the derivative 1p |
| Probes | partial chromosome paints for the 7q31-qter region |
| Additional anomalies | associated / additional anomalies may include +8 and the classical t(6;9)(p23;q34) |
| Genes involved and Proteins |
| Note | the involved genes are unknown |
