Sequential cytogenetic studies were performed on a minimum of two and a maximum of nine occasions (mean 3.6) on the peripheral blood leucocytes of 112 patients with B-CLL. On initial cytogenetic analysis, 58 had a normal karyotype and 64 had a clonal abnormality. Karyotypic evolution occurred in 18

β¦ Synopsis
The study of chromosome banding pattern of leukaemic cells in 15 patients with CML revealed t(9;22) in all cases. Similar additional chromosome abnormalities were observed in the terminal stage of the disease in 5 of 9 patients with aneuploid cell lines. The most frequent abnormalities were i(17q) and trisomy 8. The regularities of karyotype evolution in the terminal stage of CML are discussed.

## Abstract Malignant melanomas can be divided into two major subtypes, involving either the skin or eye melanomas. Both tumor forms exhibit highly complex karyotypes with nonrandom recurrent chromosomal imbalances. Loss of chromosome 3, the short arm of chromosome 1, and gain of 8q have been sugge
