Molecular assay reagents intended for use in identifying exchanges (i.e., translocations) between chromosome 11 band q23 and chromosome 19 band p13.3, usually involving genes MLL and ENL, respectively. This translocation is present in patients with both acute lymphoblastic leukemia and acute nonlymphocytic leukemia (ALL and ANLL, respectively); most cases are found in infants (congenital leukemia). Its detection may be used as a tumor marker.
