Objective To investigate the clinical and laboratory characteristics of hematological malignancies with t(1 1;19)(q23;p13.1).Methods Chromosome specimens of bone marrow cell from a patient with hematological malignancy were collected.After short-term culture,and chromosome karyotype analysis was carried out by R banding technique.Results The chromosome karyotype of the patient diagnosed with AML M4+ was t (11;19)(q23;p13.1).The patient did not obtain complete remission after application of MA regimen chemotherapy.Conclusions t(11;19)(q23;p13.1) translocation is a rare and recurring chromosome abnormality,which is related with a specific type of AML.The prognosis of the AML patients with this chromosome abnormality is poor.
