Abstract excerpt
A 12-year-old male patient with ataxia telangiectasia developed an acute lymphoblastic leukemia of T-cell phenotype. The lymphoblasts showed uniform surface expression of CD3, CD7, CD8, and T-cell receptor (TCR) alpha/beta chains, positive immunofluorescent staining of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase, complex cytogenetic aberrations including t(14;14) (q11;q32) and unique rearrangements of TCR beta and...
