RT-PCR was done for the AML1-ETO fusion transcript in all cases.     ///    "Interestingly, 1/3 MDS cases were positive for the same fusion transcript and thus, it appears worthwhile to look for AML1-ETO in all cases of MDS with increased blasts. "    ///    Objective morphological evaluation using a scoring system based on morphological features was not helpful in predicting positivity for AML1-ETO.     ///    AML1-ETO positive AML: first report from India..     ///    Overall incidence of AML1-ETO was 28.57% and no correlation was found between AML1-ETO positivity and clinical or hematological parameters except for a direct correlation with absolute blast count (ABC) (a lower ABC in the AML1-ETO positive cases).
