Using literature data on cytogenetic abnormalities in 3,6 I 2 cases of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and I ,55 I cases of acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), we have attempted to quantify the information value of finding the typical ALL-and AMLassociated chromosome aberrations.

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-
## Abstract Six patients were diagnosed as having acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) according to FAB criteria. One patient conformed to the M3 variant. Informative cytogenetic results (G‐banding) on five of the patients showed that three of them, including the M3 variant, had the 15;17 translocati
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
