Chromosome Abnormalities in Leukemia
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The renewed interest in the study of chromosome abnormalities in hematologic malignancies, particularly in the leukemias, is the result of technical improvements which permit the precise identification of each human chromosome, and of parts of chromosomes as well. The information obtained raises a number of questions regarding the validity of older notions, such as the variability of the chromosome pattern (karyotype) in acute leukemia, or the rarity of associations of specific chromosome abnormalities with particular types of leukemia. One of the surprising observations of the last few years has been the frequent occurrence of consistent translocations in a variety of hematologic malignancies. The challenging questions at present are how and why nonrandom changes, particularly consistent translocations, occur.

Function of Neutrophils in Different Phases of Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia
In chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), the mature granulocytes originate from a stem cell line harboring an abnormal chromosome, therefore it is possible that metabolic-functional abnormalities occur in the morphologically mature cells. In the present study, the phagocytic activity including intracellular killing, nitro blue tetrazolium (NBT) reduction, and phagocytosis were studied in 37 CML p...
متن کاملDetermination of Monosomy 7 among In Vitro Generated CD1a Positive Cells in Patients with Juvenile Myelomonocytic Leukemia
Objective: To study whether the generated CD1a positive cells belong to the leukemic cells among patients with juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia. Materials and Methods: We used mononuclear cells from 3 patients with juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia, from which two had monosomy 7. The mononuclear cells from these patients were cultured in RPMI/10%FCS without adding exogeneous growth factors fo...

Chromosomal abnormalities are major causes of infertility, miscarriage and birth of handicapped progeny. In human live births, the prevalence of a chromosome aberration is ?0.5% and, of these, 0.1–0.3% correspond to structural chromosome rearrangements such as translocations, inversions, insertions and deletions .Our proband is an infant who had died 4 hours after birth due to a variety of abno...

Background: The present study has been carried out to investigate the effects of preovulatory stage gamma-irradiation of female mice in the absence or presence of vitamin E on numerical chromosome abnormalities in 8-cell embryos after mating with non-irradiated males. Materials and Methods: The 8-11 weeks adult female NMRI mice were whole body irradiated at preovulatory stage (post PMSG inject...
متن کاملPersistence of chromosomal abnormalities additional to the Philadelphia chromosome after Philadelphia chromosome disappearance during imatinib therapy for chronic myeloid leukemia.
Five Philadelphia chromosome positive (Ph+) chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients with additional chromosome abnormalities at diagnosis have been followed during Imatinib therapy. In all, the Ph chromosome disappeared, while the 5 cases, additional abnormalities [dup(1); del(5), +8 (2 patients) and +14] persisted in the subsequent studies, performed over a period of 11 to 49 months, either al...
متن کاملSecondary chromosomal abnormalities of de novo acute myeloid leukemia--a first report from the Middle East.
Secondary chromosome aberrations in de novo acute myeloid leukemia ( AML) are less specific and occur in addition to the primary chromosome abnormalities. Secondary chromosome aberration in acute nonlymphocytic leukemia has been recognized for many years as the most serious long-term complication of malignant disease. Our aim in this study was to focus on patients with AML associated with secon...
