✦ Synopsis
To the Editor: I am puzzled by the comment of Gu¨rkan and Genc¸[1], in their description of a case of Bardet-Biedel syndrome, that a Philadelphia chromosome was detected. The Philadelphia chromosome is a derivative chromosome 22, resulting from a t(9;22)(q34;q11) translocation. This abnormality would not be expected in a patient with this syndrome and the fact that BCR-ABL fusion was not detected by PCR indicates that a Philadelphia chromosome was not present. Some further explanation appears to be needed.
