title: A recurrent translocation, t(3;11)(q21;q13), found in two distinct cases of acute myeloid leukemia.
abstract: We report two cases of acute myeloid leukemia (M1 and M5B subtypes) with a similar translocation, t(3;11)(q21;q13). We discuss the involvement of these breakpoints in acute leukemia and their putative clinical implications.
