✦ Synopsis
A reciprocal translocation, t( I022)(q2Z;q I I), resulting in a masked Ph chromosome was identified in a patient diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Both homologs of chromosome 9 were of the normal pattern. Two signals for the ABL probe, both of them hybridized to chromosome 9, were demonstrated via fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Furthermore, cohybridization with two differently labeled BCRIABL translocation DNA probes indicated a BCWABL fusion apparently located on 9q34. Molecular studies revealed a rearrangement of the BCR region and expression of a chimeric BCRIABL mRNA of CML configuration. These findings indicate that the BCWABL fusion resulted from an unusual relocation of the BCR gene from its normal position on 22ql I to 9q34 adjacent to the ABL gene.

Two new variant Philadelphia (Ph) chromosomes with an aberrant location of the BCR-ABL fusion gene on 9q34 of the derivative 9 are reported. One presented cytogenetically as a standard t(9;22)(q34;q11), whereas the other was classified as an ins(9;22)(q34;q11.1q11.2) using the combined interpretatio
## Abstract This report describes a chronic myelogenous leukaemia patient with an apparently normal bone marrow karyotype but __BCR/ABL__ fusion‐gene‐positive. Commercial FISH probes showed an atypical pattern and the __BCR/ABL__ fusion transcript was detected by RT‐PCR, but not the reciprocal __AB
## Abstract We describe the cases of two patients with Philadelphia chromosome–positive chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), in whom the extramedullary blastic phase developed during disease progression. The similar clinical presentations of these patients was accompanied by gain of identical secondary
We report the sublocalization of the breakpoint in chromosome 22 in 33 patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) who also had unusual marrow cytogenetics. In 23 patients, the leukemic clones were characterized by Philadelphia (Ph') chromosomes that arose through complex translocations that involv
