In classical t(9;22) translocation, as observed in chronic granulocytic leukemia (CGL), a hybrid DNA unit is produced, including a rearranged PHL gene, previously known as bcr (breakpoint cluster region) plus the translocated c-abl gene from chromosome 9: a hybrid bcr-abl protein, p210 is formed, wi
Four cases of C.G.L. in which banding of the Ph1 chromosome was performed were found to have variation from the usual 9/22 translocation pattern. All 4 cases showed a rearrangement involving at least 3 chromosomes, 2 of which were a9 and a22. One of these cases had in addition an XYY karyotype in th
