The TEL/AML1 fusion is the most common genetic abnormality found in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemias (ALL). Although it is very difficult to identify by conventional cytogenetic techniques it can be readily detected using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). We carried out cytogenetic and FISH studies on 42 children with ALL in order to know the frequency of this translocation in our population, the incidence of TEL and/or AML1 gene alterations, and their correlation with clinical evolution and prognosis. In addition, we performed reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in some cases, confirming the feasibility of FISH techniques in the detection of this translocation.
