A reciprocal translocation, t( I022)(q2Z;q I I), resulting in a masked Ph chromosome was identified in a patient diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Both homologs of chromosome 9 were of the normal pattern. Two signals for the ABL probe, both of them hybridized to chromosome 9, were demon

✦ Synopsis
W e performed molecular studies to resolve the status of BCR and ABL in the bone marrow cells of a CML patient with a Ph chromosome resulting from a complex translocation involving chromosomes 9, 15, and 22. D N A digestion with BomHI, Hindlll, and Bglll, followed by hybridization to a bcr-specific 32P-labeled probe, showed a rearranged banding pattern confirming the involvement of the bcr locus in the translocation. Furthermore, total cellular RNA isolated from the marrow was subjected to reverse transcription into cDNA and amplified by PCR with primers specific for BCR-ABL fusion cDNA. The amplified products obtained from this patient and from a CML patient with the standard t(9;22) were both of the expected length of approximately 3 I7 bp. Genes Chrom Cancer 4:343-345 ( I 992).

## Abstract This report describes a chronic myelogenous leukaemia patient with an apparently normal bone marrow karyotype but __BCR/ABL__ fusion‐gene‐positive. Commercial FISH probes showed an atypical pattern and the __BCR/ABL__ fusion transcript was detected by RT‐PCR, but not the reciprocal __AB
## Abstract Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is characterized by the presence of a t(9;22)(q34;q11.2), which leads to the well‐known BCR–ABL1 fusion protein. We describe a patient who was diagnosed clinically with a typical CML but on cytogenetic analysis was found to have a t(9;22)(p24;q11.2). Chrom
## Abstract We report a case of __BCR‐ABL__‐negative atypical chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) with translocation t(4;22) (q12;q11.2) juxtaposing the breakpoint cluster region (__BCR__) and platelet‐derived growth factor receptor–alpha (__PDGFRA__) genes. The patient was a 57‐year‐old man with a hist
The nucleoporin gene NUP98 has been reported to be fused to 9 partner genes in hematologic malignancies with 11p15 translocations. The NUP98-HOXA9 fusion gene has been identified in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and chronic myelogenous leukemia with t(7;11)(p15;p15). We report here a novel NUP98 part
