Abstract
With the advance of molecular technology in the past thirty years, cytogenetic analysis has become essential for making an appropriate diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment plan for children with acute leukemia. It is now a regular practice to document the frequencies of chromosomal translocations that are found in children with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), but a comparison of the different frequencies of chromosomal translocations throughout the world has not yet been undertaken. Differing frequencies of chromosomal translocations in pediatric leukemia in populations worldwide could have large implications for the study of genetics and pediatric leukemia.
