  •   t(12;21) in Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia

    The t(12;21)(p13;q22), TEL-AML1 translocation, is observed in approximately 20-25% of childhood B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cases in both Asian and Caucasian populations (Kobayashi H et al., 1997). It is the most frequent known genetic abnormality in childhood B-cell ALL.

  •   t(5;12)(q33;p13) in Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia

    Chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia (CMML) is a myelodysplastic syndrome and is characterized dysplastic monocytosis, hypercellular bone marrow, splenomegaly, and progression to acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). A sub-set of CMMLs have a t(5;12)(q33;p13) balanced translocation involving the PDGFRB and ETV6 (TEL) genes.

  •   t(12;15)(p13;q25) in Congenital Fibrosarcoma

    The t(12;15)(p13;q25) fusing the ETV6 and NTRK3 genes has been reported in congenital (infantile) fibrosarcoma. In an RT-PCR study of paediatric tumours (Bourgeois, 2000), the ETV6-NTRK3 fusion transcripts were detected in 10/11 congenital fibrosarcomas compared to 0/13 other malignant spindle cell tumours and 0/38 benign spindle cell tumours. The authors suggest RT-PCR assays to detect the ETV6-NTRK3 gene fusion will be useful in the diagnosis of congenital fibrosarcoma and in particular to differentiation from more aggressive spindle cell sarcomas including adult-type fibrosarcoma.
