Cytogenetic analysis of bone marrow cells demonstrated a pericentric inversion of chromosome 6 when acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML) was diagnosed in a 15-month-old child with Down syndrome. The abnormal clone with inv(6)(p24q16) was associated with FAB-M1 AML and disappeared when a complete remission was achieved. This is a unique cytogenetic abnormality for FAB-M1 AML in a child with Down syndrome and, to our knowledge, is only the second case of a pericentric inversion of chromosome 6 reported in AML.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007223 Infant A child between 1 and 23 months of age. Infants
D007446 Chromosome Inversion An aberration in which a chromosomal segment is deleted and reinserted in the same place but turned 180 degrees from its original orientation, so that the gene sequence for the segment is reversed with respect to that of the rest of the chromosome.

D004314 Down Syndrome A chromosome disorder associated either with an extra CHROMOSOME 21 or an effective TRISOMY for chromosome 21. Clinical manifestations include HYPOTONIA, short stature, BRACHYCEPHALY, upslanting palpebral fissures, epicanthus, Brushfield spots on the iris, protruding tongue, small ears, short, broad hands, fifth finger clinodactyly, single transverse palmar crease, and moderate to severe INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY. Cardiac and gastrointestinal malformations, a marked increase in the incidence of LEUKEMIA, and the early onset of ALZHEIMER DISEASE are also associated with this condition. Pathologic features include the development of NEUROFIBRILLARY TANGLES in neurons and the deposition of AMYLOID BETA-PROTEIN, similar to the pathology of ALZHEIMER DISEASE.
