The present case report describes a 46-year-old female patient diagnosed with M4 acute myeloid leukemia (AML), accompanied with a t(1;9)(p22;q34) chromosomal abnormality. Transcriptome sequencing identified a DEK proto-oncogene (DEK)/nucleoporin (NUP)214 fusion gene, which results from the t(6;9)(p23;q34) chromosomal translocation. Polymerase chain reaction analysis and fluorescence in situ hyb...

OBJECTIVE The Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome, consisting of the t(9;22)(q34;q11) translocation, is observed in ~90% of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Variant Ph translocations are observed in 5%-10% of CML patients. In variant translocations 3 and possibly more chromosomes are involved. Herein we report 6 CML patients with variant Ph translocations. METHODS Bone marrow samples we...
