A fusion transcript of AF10 and CALM was isolated recently from the U937 cell line with t(10;11)(p13;q21). We performed reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and sequencing analysis on the t(10;11) leukemia samples obtained from four patients and one cell line, and we identified reciprocal fusion transcripts of AF10 and CALM in all the samples. The fusion transcripts in the five samples showed four different breakpoints in AF10 and three different breakpoints in CALM. In addition, the fusion transcripts in one sample showed a nucleotide sequence deletion in AF10, and those in two samples showed a nucleotide sequence deletion in CALM; the deletions were thought to be caused by alternative splicing. The variety of breakpoints and splice sites in the two genes resulted in five different-sized AF10-CALM mRNAs and in four different-sized CALM-AF10 mRNAs. Clinical features of 11 patients, including 6 of our own and 5 reported by others, in whom the fusion of AF10 and CALM was identified, are characterized by young age of the patients, mixed-lineage immunophenotype with coexpression of T-cell and myeloid antigens, frequent occurrence of a mediastinal mass, and poor clinical outcome.
