## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Approximately 30โ50% of patients with myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia (MMM) demonstrate detectable cytogenetic abnormalities, the prognostic value of which has not been completely defined by previous retrospective studies. The current prospective study addresses thi
In polycythemia Vera (PV), treatment with chlorambucil and radioactive phosphorus (p32) increases the risk of leukemic transformation from 1% to 13-14%. This risk has been estimated to be 1-5.9% with hydroxyurea (HU) therapy. When compared with historical controls, the risk with use of HU does not a
Among cytogenetic studies of patients affected with myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia (MMM), a rare chronic myeloproliferative disorder, we found several reports of structural abnormalities of the long arm of chromosome 12. Two MMM patients had a balanced translocation involving 12q: t(4;12)(q32
