Translocation 11q23 and MLL gene rearrangements are commonly observed in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in association with the myelomonocytic or monocytic feature. We describe a case involving a 15-year-old patient with AML characterized by leukemic cells exhibiting translocation (11;17)(q23;q12-21) and MLL gene rearrangement. No fusion partner gene of the MLL gene was identified, including RARalpha(17q12) or AF17 (17q21); however, a partial tandem duplication of the MLL exon 11/exon 10 was detected in leukemic cells via a 3'RACE method for detection of unknown partner genes. The patient has been in remission for more than 2 years without hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

The definition of high-risk (HR) multiple myeloma (MM) is still a matter of debate. We prospectively evaluated the HR detection using FISH in combination with SKY92 gene expression profiling in 258 MM patients (newly diagnosed [ND] MM: = 109; relapsed/refractory [RR] MM: = 149). HR SKY92 was significantly enriched in RRMM (57/121, 47.

Patients with benzene-induced leukemia undergo a continuous transformation from myelosuppression to malignant proliferation. However, the underlying mechanisms in this process remain unknown. Our previous studies have shown that the pathways involved in self-renewal capacity of bone marrow (BM) cells in Mll-Af9 mice exposed to benzene for life are significantly activated after severe blood toxicity.

Background: Few Chinese study compared the impacts of idarubicin and daunorubicin based "3+7" intensive chemotherapies on early and long-term outcomes of AML patients through exploring their real-world data.
Patients And Methods: Our none promyelocytic AML patients inducted with "3+7" regimens were studied to find out the factors relating with induction response and long term survival.
Results: Idarubicin induction was related with less chemotherapy refractory rate comparing with daunorubicin induction (10% vs 25%, P = 0.

Objectives: To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of acute erythroleukemia (AEL) in children.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data, treatment, and prognosis of 8 children with AEL treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2013 to December 2023.
Results: Among the 7 patients with complete bone marrow morphological analysis, 4 exhibited trilineage dysplasia, with a 100% incidence of erythroid dysplasia (7/7), a 71% incidence of myeloid dysplasia (5/7), and a 57% incidence of megakaryocytic dysplasia (4/7).
