Chromosomal rearrangements (CR) initiate leukemogenesis in approximately 50 % of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients; however, limited targeted therapies exist due to a lack of accurate molecular and genetic biomarkers of refractory mechanisms during treatment. Here, we investigated the pathological landscape of treatment resistance and relapse in 16 CR-AML patients by monitoring cytogenetic, RNAseq, and genome-wide changes among newly diagnosed, refractory, and relapsed AML. First, in FISH-diagnosed KMT2A (MLL gene, 11q23)/AFDN (AF6, 6q27)-rearrangement, RNA-sequencing identified an unknown CCDC32 (15q15.

Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) with KMT2A rearrangements (KMT2Ar), found on chromosome 11q23, is often called KMT2A-rearranged AML (KMT2Ar-AML). This variant is highly aggressive, characterized by rapid disease progression and poor outcomes. Growing knowledge of epigenetic changes, especially lactylation, has opened new avenues for investigation and management of this subtype.

Introduction: rearrangement () is a common genomic alteration in acute leukemia that can be effectively targeted by menin inhibitors. While FISH is the standard laboratory test for , false positives can occur.
Case Report: We present a case of AML in which both and were identified by karyotype analysis and FISH.

Background: Segmental chromosome aberrations, defined as presence of aberrations, deletion, or imbalance in the chromosomal arms, have long been considered as a predictor of poor prognosis of patients with neuroblastoma. The objective of this meta-analysis is to quantitively analyze the hazard ratios (HRs) of different whole or segmental chromosome aberrations for overall survival (OS) rate or event-free survival (EFS) rate of patients with neuroblastoma.
Methods: Relevant studies about chromosome, neuroblastoma, predictor, prognosis, and survival published from the inception to April 2023 in the databases of PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science were searched, screened, and reviewed.
