Objective: To explore genes involved in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) with t (3; 21) (q26; q22) chromosome translocation in blastic crisis.
Methods: A case of CML patient with t (3; 21) (q26; q22) in blastic crisis was reported. AML1 and bcr/abl genes were detected by FISH in interphase and metaphase cells. Genes involved in t (3; 21) (q26; q22) were analysed by RT-PCR and sequencing.
Results: AML1 gene hybridization signal was detected in der (3) and der (21) chromosomes. AML1-Evi1, AML1-MDS1-Evi1, AML1-EAP fusion transcripts and Evi1 gene were detected in mRNA level, but no AML1-Evi1 fusion transcript. The mRNA expression level of AML1-MDS1-Evi1 fusion gene was 1.58 and 1.54 times higher than that of AML1-MDS1 and AML1-EAP, respectively. The mRNA expression level of Evi1 gene of the patient was 2.71 times higher than that of HEL cell line.
Conclusion: t (3; 21) (q26; q22) resulted in the AML1-MDS1-Evi1, AML1-MDS1, AML1-EAP fusion transcripts, and Evi1 gene was also activated by the translocation. These secondary aberrations should be the molecular basis of CML patient with t (3; 21) (q26; q22) in blastic crisis.

Background/aims: India's linguistic and cultural diversity necessitates a region-specific validated Visual Functioning Questionnaire. The objective of this study was to translate the Indian Vision Function Questionnaire-33 (IND-VFQ-33) into the Kannada language and test its psychometric properties, underlying factor structure, and model fit.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 330 participants, and basic psychometric properties (reliability, convergent, discriminant, construct validity, responsiveness, etc.

Background: Individuals with X chromosomal translocations, variable phenotypes, and a high risk of live birth defects are of interest for scientific study. These characteristics are related to differential breakpoints and various types of chromosomal abnormalities. To investigate the effects of X chromosome translocation on clinical phenotype, a retrospective analysis of clinical data for patients with X chromosome translocation was conducted.

Rationale: The rare t(3;21)(q26;q22) translocation results in gene fusion and generates multiple fusion transcripts, which are typically associated with therapy-related myelodysplastic syndrome, acute myeloid leukemia, and chronic myelogenous leukemia. Here, we report a rare case of de novo acute myelomonocytic leukemia in a young child with t(3;21)(q26;q22).
Patient Concerns: A 2-and-a-half-year-old female patient presented with abdominal pain, cough, paleness, and fever for 3 weeks, without any history of malignant diseases.

Background: The cytogenetic characteristics are important factors for risk stratification at diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML); however, cytogenetic profile of Vietnamese patients with AML remains undetermined. In this study, we present the chromosomal data of de novo AML patients in Southern Vietnam.
Methods: We performed cytogenetic testing for 336 AML patients using G banding.
