-- The objective of this research was to characterise the cytogenetic alterations found in samples of bone marrow of adult patients with clinical diagnosis of subtype M2 Acute Myeloid Leukemia (FAB), using both conventional and molecular cytogenetic; and to evaluate the agreement with the results obtained by immunophenotype and morphology assays. This research was performed with 28 samples of bone marrow, which were taken from a group of patients with diagnosis of subtype M2 AML from January 2004 to December 2005. 20 cases were showed analyzable metaphases through conventional cytogenetic (Banding G), being 9 positive cases (45%) for t(8;21) translocation or its variants. The molecular cytogenetic analysis (FISH specific locus), was performed in 11 samples of the a group of patients with diagnosis of M2 AML, 5 cases (46%) were positive for AML1/ETO fusion gene product of t(8;21) translocation. The sensitivity of the detection of t(8;21) translocation is increased by using more sensitive and specific tests like FISH added to conventional procedures. The agreement found between the results of the cytogenetic and immuno phenotype and morphology assay was insignificant by kappa index (0.151), considering only the presence of t(8;21) translocation as the main chromosomal anomaly found in AML M2. It must be take in account that this finding is not exclusive, neither unique for this kind of disease; it could be found also another chromosomal alterations or even normal cariotypes.
