We report a case of AML-M4 in which G-band karyotyping revealed a previously unreported t(13;17)(q14;q25) in metaphase preparations. The breakpoints at 13q14 and 17q25 are associated with poor prognosis. The MSF and FKHR genes are located on 17q25 and 13q14, respectively. This report of AML-M4 harboring t(13;17)(q14;q25) as a unique cytogenetic abnormality provides more data on the leukomogenesis with rearrangements related with 13q14 and 17q25. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd.
