16;21 translocation in acute nonlymphocytic leukemia with abnormal eosinophils: a unique subtype

Acta Haematologica

Abstract

Two patients with acute nonlymphocytic leukemia (ANLL) and t(16;21)(p11;q22) were studied. The patients exhibited such clinical and hematological pictures, characterized by M2 and M4 with eosinophilia (FAB classification), as relatively matured leukemic cells, low neutrophil alkaline phosphatase activity, abnormal eosinophils and a high count of monocytic cells in the bone marrow. The prognosis was poor in both patients. From these data, the chromosomal abnormality of t(16;21)(p11;q22) seems to be specifically associated with a unique subtype of ANLL.

Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disease with approximately 20,000 cases per year in the United States. AML also accounts for 15-20% of all childhood acute leukemias, while it is responsible for more than half of the leukemic deaths in these patients. Here is the latest research on this disease.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
