About Mixed phenotype acute leukemia with t(v;11q23.3)

What is Mixed phenotype acute leukemia with t(v;11q23.3)?

Mixed phenotype acute leukemia with t(v;11q23.3) is a rare type of leukemia that is characterized by the presence of two different types of leukemia cells in the same patient. It is caused by a chromosomal translocation between chromosome 11 and a variable chromosome (v). This translocation results in the fusion of two genes, TEL and AML1, which leads to the production of an abnormal protein that causes the leukemia cells to grow and divide uncontrollably. Treatment for this type of leukemia typically involves chemotherapy and/or stem cell transplantation.

What are the symptoms of Mixed phenotype acute leukemia with t(v;11q23.3)?
