Leukemia with a novel 4q11q rearrangement.
Translocation (4;11)(q21;q23) is characteristic of a distinct acute leukemic syndrome. We report an 8-wk-old male patient with the clinical features ascribed to t(4;11), but with an unusual chromosome rearrangement consisting of an insertion of the 11q23 band into the q21 region of chromosome #4.
