In 14 of these cases (63%), TEL-AML1 expression was detected, whereas t(4;11), t(11;19) and t(9;22) translocations were found by molecular methods in only three cases (14%).     ///    The majority of myeloid-antigen-positive (My+) childhood B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukaemias express TEL-AML1 fusion transcripts..     ///    Percentages of CD13 or CD33 expressing leukaemic cells were found to be higher in TEL-AML1 positive cases (n = 22) than in TEL-AML1 negative (n = 74) cases (P<0.001).     ///    These data show that TEL-AML1 expression is significantly associated with myeloid antigen expression by leukaemic cells and suggests that the prognostic significance of myeloid antigen expression in paediatric ALLs should be re-evaluated in the light of molecular cytogenetic markers..     ///    "A molecular analysis of TEL-AML1, E2A-PBX1, MLL-AF4, BCR-ABL expression and an immunophenotypic study of CD13/CD33 myeloid antigen expression have been performed prospectively on tumour cells from 96 paediatric BCP-ALL patients.
