Sixty-eight AML and 42 ALL cases were also examined for rearrangements of the immunoglobulin (Ig) and T-cell receptor (TCR) beta, gamma, and delta genes, and these included 12 biphenotypic AL.
Unusual deletions of the portion of the IgH locus including JH segments and the C mu and C delta genes may occur in acute leukemias with immunophenotypic evidence of commitment to the B cell differentiation pathway.
