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

A 60-year-old woman presented with diffuse lymphadenopathy. Diagnostic and staging work-up showed that the patient had diffuse small cleaved cell lymphoma (diffuse poorly differentiated lymphocytic lymphoma) with associated histiocytes (lymphoepithelioid cell lymphoma) by the Kiel classification sys
The breakpoints of deletions and translocations in the proximal chromosome 14q region were defined in nine patients, four of whom have not been reported previously. The aberrant chromosomes were isolated by flow cytometry and used to map the chromosome 14 deletion or translocation breakpoints. The p
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
