Cytogenetically cryptic AML1-ETO and CBFbeta-MYH11 gene rearrangements: incidence in 412 cases of acute myeloid leukaemia
1 Dec 2000

The rearrangements t(8;21)(q22;22) and inv(16)(p13q22) are two of the most frequently seen in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), accounting for 8% and 4% of cases respectively. Detection of these abnormalities is important for disease management as both are associated with good responses to conventional chemotherapy and prolonged disease-free survival. Recent reports using reverse transcriptase polymerase chain...
