The t(12;21) translocation is the most common translocation in childhood B-precursor ALL. Because G-banding cannot detect the cryptic t(12;21), the full characterization of additional aberrations involving chromosome 12 is often difficult. Spectral karyotyping (SKY) can distinguish a der(12)t(12;21) chromosome from a nonrearranged chromosome 12. We therefore applied SKY on an unselected series of 14 patients...
