In the present study, we report a childhood leukemia in which a three-way translocation caused the fusion of exon 9 of MLL with exon 6 of ELL. To the best of our knowledge, this is only the second case in which exon 6 of ELL was found to be fused to MLL [8, 16, 18]. The gene discussed is KMT2A; the disease is leukemia.
