Certain patterns of karyotype evolution in chronic myelogeneous leukaemia. Chromosome abnormalities in CML
Abstract
The study of chromosome banding pattern of leukaemic cells in 15 patients with CML revealed t(9;22) in all cases. Similar additional chromosome abnormalities were observed in the terminal stage of the disease in 5 of 9 patients with aneuploid cell lines. The most frequent abnormalities were i(17q) and trisomy 8. The regularities of karyotype evolution in the terminal stage of CML are discussed.
