A 3-year-old boy with poorly prognostic acute megakaryoblastic leukemia (AML M7) showing t(16;21)(p11;q22) karyotype underwent unrelated bone marrow transplantation (U-BMT) during his first hematological remission. The conditioning regimen consisted of BU, VP-16 and L-PAM. Engraftment was smooth, but the patient developed grade I acute GVHD. During hematological remission before U-BMT, the TLS/FUS-ERG chimeric transcript of t(16;21)(p11;q22) was consistently detectable as minimal residual disease (MRD) by RT-PCR. However, after U-BMT it soon became undetectable. There was no detectable MRD until 7 months after U-BMT, but bone marrow relapse occurred 10 months after U-BMT. We consider that U-BMT is a promising treatment for t(16;21)(p11;q22) AML. However, an intensified conditioning regimen or modification of GVHD prophylaxis is needed.
