Acute myeloid leukaemias (AML) arising in irradiated CBA/H mice frequently have breakpoints in the F region of chromosome 2. The closely linked cytokine genes interleukin (/L)-/a and p map to this region, and the p gene is deregulated in some AMLs. Using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis techniques,
We report the sublocalization of the breakpoint in chromosome 22 in 33 patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) who also had unusual marrow cytogenetics. In 23 patients, the leukemic clones were characterized by Philadelphia (Ph') chromosomes that arose through complex translocations that involv
