Most commonly occurs in infants without Downs syndrome.
If the leukemia occurs before or simultaneously with Myeloid Sarcoma (9930/3), see M3 and Module 5: PH10

Diagnostic Confirmation
This AML is part of the "AML with recurrent genetic abnormalities" group. Since this AML is diagnosed based on genetics, diagnostic confirmation will always be 3.

Definition
Acute myeloid leukemia (megakaryoblastic) with t(1;22)(p13.3;q13.1) resulting in RBM15-MKL1fusion is an AML generally showing maturation in the megakaryocyte lineage.
