  • Title: Nonrandom chromosome rearrangements in 27 cases of human myeloid leukemia.
    Author: Roźynkowa D, Stepień J, Kowalewski J, Nowakowski A.
    Journal: Hum Genet; 1977 Dec 23; 39(3):293-301. PubMed ID: 271632.
    Abstract:
    The R-banding pattern of the chromosomes of 31 patients hospitalized in the Hematologic Clinic for myeloid leukemia were studied before chemotherapy. This analysis permitted identification of one unusual 3-chromosome rearrangement t(3;9;22) in addition to 25 classic forms of (22q-;9q+) translocation accompanied by the specific Ph' chromosome in chronic granulocytic leukemia patients, independent of the blastic course of the disease. During blastic crisis observed in 6 patients, extra 8 and 10 chromosomes, monosomy for chromosome 17, isochromosomes 17q, translocation (12q;13q), and additional Ph' were noted. The nonrandomness of these findings is determined from results published by other authors. Their significance for the cellular phenotype is presently unknown.
