Unexpected appearance of KMT2A::MLLT10 fusion transcript in acute myeloid leukemia with t(5;11)(q31;q23.3)

We report here a 65-year-old woman with AML M5b. G-banding and spectral karyotyping demonstrated 46,XX,t(5;11)(q31;q23.3). Fluorescence in situ hybridization revealed not only separated 5 ’ and 3’ KMT2A signals but a faint 5’ KMT2A signal.
