Acute myeloid leukemia, del(13q14-q21) is a type of blood cancer that is characterized by a specific chromosomal change. In this condition, there is a deletion of part of chromosome 13, specifically from bands q14 to q21, which distinguishes it from other forms of acute myeloid leukemia. This deletion is a cytogenetic abnormality and helps define the condition. Although more detailed information about how the disease presents in people is not provided, this overview explains the core genetic feature that is used to diagnose and study the leukemia.

Information about symptoms is currently limited for this condition.

In acute myeloid leukemia, del(13q14-q21), the underlying cause is linked to a specific genetic change. A deletion occurs in the long arm of chromosome 13, between the bands q14 and q21. This genetic abnormality plays a role in the development of abnormal blood cells.
