✦ Synopsis

Chromosome studies in a phenotypically normal 40-year-old man with Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome-positive chronic myelocytic leukemia (CML) and a constitutional Robertsonian translocation are reported. The possibility of carriers of Robertsonian translocations having an increased risk to develop Ph-positive CML is mentioned.
