acute myeloid leukemia, t(6;11)(q27;q23)

Acute myeloid leukemia, t(6;11)(q27;q23) is a type of blood cancer that affects the bone marrow, where blood cells are made. This specific form of leukemia is characterized by a chromosomal anomaly in which a segment from the long arm of chromosome 6 (at band q27) translocates to the long arm of chromosome 11 (at band q23). Such chromosomal translocations can disrupt normal blood cell development and are associated with the development of de novo acute myeloid leukemia. A translocation is a genetic event where parts of chromosomes exchange places, and in this condition, the change is specific to the chromosomes mentioned. This genetic abnormality helps to distinguish this form of acute myeloid leukemia from other subtypes. As with many forms of leukemia, understanding the underlying genetic change is a key part of studying the condition and can help guide further scientific research.

Information about symptoms is currently limited for this condition.

The cause of acute myeloid leukemia, t(6;11)(q27;q23) is linked to a genetic change where a segment of chromosome 6 swaps places with a segment of chromosome 11. This chromosomal translocation is the main feature associated with the development of the condition.

Information about treatment is currently limited for this condition.

Information about prognosis is currently limited for this condition.

Information about current research and future directions is currently limited for this condition.
