## Abstract A female patient with chronic myelocytic leukemia (CML) in chronic phase after busulfan and interferon treatment had four different cell lines in her bone marrow. In addition to cells with a normal karyotype there were cells with the Philadelphia chromosome (Ph^1^), cells with trisomy 8

Abstract
The sister chromatid exchange (SCE) frequency in boneโmarrow cells of 12 untreated patients with chronic myelocytic leukemia (CML) was analysed and compared with the SCE frequency in boneโmarrow cells of nine healthy persons. In normal persons the SCE ranged from 3.64 to 5.15 per cell. In CML patients the SCE was significantly lower, ranging from 2.32 to 3.44 per cell. The differences found were unrelated to patients' age and contraction state of the chromosomes. It is suggested that the leukemic process could account for the low SCE rate.
