Background. Five to 10% of patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) do not have the Philadelphia chromosome (Ph), but one-third of them have rearrangements of the breakpoint cluster region (BCR-positive). Methods. The authors analyzed the characteristics, treatment response, and prognosis o
We report on the first Philadelphia chromosome (Ph) positive chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) characterized by a rearrangement within the 5' part of the bcr gene on chromosome 22, but outside the restricted breakpoint cluster region. In situ hybridization studies revealed a translocation of the c-
