Purpose: The t(12;21) translocation is the most common reciprocal chromosomal rearrangement in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). This translocation fuses two genes, TEL and AML1, and results in the production of the TEL-AML1 fusion protein. The authors investigated the incidence and prognostic significance of the TEL-AML1 fusion gene in patients with ALL in Turkey.
