Translocations (4p+; 6q-) and (12q-; Xp+) in blastic phase of a Ph1-positive chronic myeloid leukemia
Abstract
This paper reports a 28-year-old woman with Philadelphia chromosome (Ph1)-positive chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) who developed two marrow cell lines during the blastic phase: one with the translocation (12;X) (q 11;p22) and the other with the translocation (4;6) (p 16;q 25). The literature on involvement of chromosomes 12 and X in translocations and the appearance of 6 q- aberration in CML is summarized. The relationship between the 6 q-aberration and the blast cells with lymphoid appearance in the plastic phase of CML is discussed.
