3q21q26 syndrome includes chromosomal abnormalities of inv(3)(q21q26), t(3;3) (q21;q26), and ins(3;3)(q26;q21q26). It causes hematological diseases by the leukemogenic mechanism that the enhancer of ribophorin I gene in 3q21 induces the transcription of ecotropic viral integration site-1 gene in 3q26. Recently, it has been proposed that the 3q21q26 syndrome may be preceded by diabetes insipidus (DI), particularly when combined with monosomy 7, and is a unique disease entity.
