Fifty-one children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia on a common protocol of treatment were classified according to presence or absence of chromosomal abnormalities found at the time of diagnosis in bone marrow and/ or blood. Twenty-two or 43% had normal karyotypes while 29 (57%) had clonal abnormal

The cytogenetics in the study of a patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia are presented. Initially, a large proportion of both unstimulated and phytohemagglutinin (PHA)-stimulated blood mitoses showed an abnormal karyotype with a 7;12 translocation and a trisomy 19. At the time of relapse, a PHA-
Cytogenetic studies performed on 130 consecutive childhood acute nonlymphocytic leukemias (ANLL) investigated in the same center between 1977 and 1986 are reported. The incidence of clonal chromosomal abnormalities was 68.5% with uneven distribution among the groups of the FAB nomenclature. The high
## Abstract To evaluate the usefulness of flow cytometric detection of intracellular antigens (Ags) in establishing proper lineage affiliation and its contribution to the diagnosis of acute leukemia, we studied 100 consecutive patients in whom acute leukemia was diagnosed between January 1997 and J
Early diagnosis of t(15;17) acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is essential because of the associated disseminated intravascular coagulation and the unique response of the disease to all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) therapy. Early diagnosis depends primarily on morphological recognition. The French-Am
