As the chromosomal translocation t(8;16)(p11.2;p13.3) is reported to be associated with an aggressive form of AML M4/M5, the 8p11.2 abnormality detected in this patient is speculated to be a MYST3-CREBBP rearrangement, although we cannot show it by FISH analysis due to lack of residual BM samples [13]. Here, KAT6A is linked to acute myeloid leukemia.
