Description
Chaimae El Mahdaoui and co-authors report a rare chromosome swap in a child with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in a 2023 case paper. That leukemia is the most common childhood cancer, and its outlook depends on age, clinical traits, and genetic changes. The patient was a four year old Moroccan girl treated in Casablanca.
Her cancer was the B cell type and carried a swap between chromosomes 1 and 4, a change never before seen alone in this childhood disease. She completed chemotherapy and reached full remission. After eight years of follow up she remained well, showing that this rare change can still carry a good outcome.
