Clinics and Pathology

Disease

AML, ALL at times

Phenotype stem cell origin

30 cases were reported. 25 of them were AML: mostly M4/M5 (16), 2 M1, 1 M2, 3 secondary (s) LAM, in 3 cases FAB type were not described. The other cases were : 2 ALL, 1 biphenotypic ALL, 1 sALL and 1 sMSD.

Epidemiology

most cases were infants (10/23) and children (7/23) , range is 4 months - 62 years, balanced sex ratio (14F/12M on 26 cases).

Prognosis

Yet unknown

Cytogenetics

Cytogenetics morphological

presents as der(11)t(1;11)(q21;q23) in 9 of the 30 cases. Unbalanced form is identified in the 4 ALL and in all of the secondary cases.

Additional anomalies

balanced translocation is present as sole anomaly in 16/21 cases, and as part of simple karyotype in 5/21 cases ;+ 19, +22 were recurrent. Additional abnormalities were observed in 8 of the 9 cases showing the der (11); karyotype of 5 cases were highly complex.

Variants

two three-way translocations were identified : t(1;11;3)(q21;q23;q21) and t(1;11;4)(q21;q23;p16).

Result of the Chromosomal Anomaly

Description

5 MLL-3 AF1q; breakpoints: between exons 6 and 7 in MLL andwithin the 5 untranslated region in AF1qN-term -- AT hook (DNA binding) and DNA methyltransferase motiffrom MLL fused to the entire AF1q on the der(11); the reciprocal on der(1) is out of frame.
