Title: Isochromosome 17 in a case of eosinophilic leukaemia. An abnormality common to eosinophilic and neutrophilic cells. Author: Mitelman F, Panani A, Brandt L. Journal: Scand J Haematol; 1975 May; 14(4):308-12. PubMed ID: 1153958. Abstract: In a patient with eosinophilic leukaemia, serial chromosome studies using the Giemsa banding technique revealed a similar marker chromosome, identified as an isochromosome 17, in all bone marrow metaphases analysed. There was no Ph-1-chromosome. The cytogenetic data support the view that eosinophilic leukaemia is a specific disease entity, and suggest that both eosinophilic and neutrophilic cells are involved in the leukaemic process.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
