โฆ Synopsis
Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was performed on bone marrow or peripheral blood cells thought to contain a del( I l)(q23q25) from four patients who had acute leukemia or myelodysplasia. Cells from all patients were shown to contain translocations that involved chromosome 6 in three of them. Our data suggest that a large proportion of presumptive del( I l)(q23) or del( I l)(q23q25) chromosomes may represent previously unidentified translocations that can be detected by FISH. Genes Chrorn Cancer 7: 204-208 (1993).

We used fluorescence in situ hybridization to characterize the molecular position of the breakpoints in a t(8;13)(p11;q12) reciprocal translocation from a patient with an atypical myeloproliferative disorder. This structural chromosome abnormality is characteristic of this specific disease and occur
