A complex pattern of chromosome abnormalities in the acute phase of chronic granulocytic leukaemia.
The Philadelphia chromosome (Ph') is of particular interest because of its close association with chronic granulocytic leukaemia. Ph' is a distinct chromosome abnormality which is found in the marrow or blood cells of nearly all patients with this leukaemia, and appears to be generally specific to this or closely related disorders. Because of these features, Ph', unlike the chromosome abnormali...
متن کاملAbnormalities in the erythrocyte membrane in acute lymphoid leukaemia.
Erythrocytes from patients suffering from acute lymphoid leukaemia (ALL) show decreased proportions of spectrin tetrameters and altered spatial distribution of band 4.1 and ankyrins. These abnormalities of the cytoskeleton are probably responsible for altered membrane fluidity and transbilayer distribution of phosphatidylethanolamine in ALL. ALL is associated with severe anaemia and usually, bu...
متن کاملThe clinical significance of cytogenetic abnormalities in acute myeloid leukaemia.
During the last three decades it has become apparent that the majority of cases of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) are characterized by at least one of a variety of recurrent chromosomal abnormalities. These changes have been found in many instances to correlate closely with distinct morphological features and clinical characteristics, the molecular basis of which is becoming increasingly underst...

متن کاملChromosome abnormalities in Down's syndrome patients with acute leukemia.
Chromosome and cytologic studies were performed on three Down's syndrome (DS) patients with acute nonlymphocytic leukemia (ANLL). All three patients had an aneuploid clone in their leukemic cells: 50, XX, +6, +19, +21, +22, +8, XX, +21, and 47,XY, +8, - 21 +dic(21;21)(p13;p11). Every patient appeared to have acute undifferentiated leukemia when the blast cells were examined with Wright-Giemsa s...
