Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis was applied to detect t(12;21) using two yeast artificial chromosome probes and cosmid probes covering the TEL(ETV6) and the AML1 gene to clarify the incidence of abnormality of t(12;21) in Japanese childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). We detected seven TEL/AML1 fusion positive patients (9.5%), all of whom were diagnosed as B-lineage ALL, among 74 childhood ALL. On the other hand, no TEL/AML1 fusion positive patients were found among 37 adult ALL. The incidence among Japanese seemed to be lower than that among other nations. Of the seven patients with the TEL/AML1 fusion, five exhibited normal karyotype, one was t(8;12)(q11;p13), i(21q) and the remaining one exhibited a near-triploid karyotype in conventional G-banding. The FISH method clearly demonstrated that all patients with the TEL/AML1 fusion had subpopulations of leukemic cells with deletion of the normal TEL allele, which is significant for understanding the progression of leukemia with t(12;21).
