RUNX1::RUNX1T1 is a core-binding factor driving fusion gene which arises from t(8;21)(q22;q22). It is one of the
most common chromosomal rearrangements in both pediatric and adult Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)
with a reported incidence o 15% in children and young adults. There are few case reports documenting
RUNX1::RUNX1T1 translocation in pediatric AML. Although this is generally associated with a favorable
prognosis, we report two (2) cases of de novo pediatric AML in the Philippines harboring a RUNX1::RUNX1T1
translocation, one eventually relapsed while the other attained remission but succumbed to sepsis.
