Acute megakaryoblastic leukemia(AML-M7) is a rare type of pediatric AML. It represents approximately 1% of all leukemias during childhood & has an incidence of 0.5% per million per year. In young children with Down syndrome, AML-M7 is the most common type of AML. There is no association reported till date in between Down syndrome & Haemoglobin E-Beta thalassaemia.
