Complex cytogenetic aberrations in a patient with chronic myeloid leukemia: a case report

TSitologiia i genetika 2009, v 43, Issue 3, 48-54

In this article is presented a case of multiple chromosomal aberrations in a patient with CML accelerated phase. Cytogenetic and molecular cytogenetic studies allowed us to determine the presence of t(9;22)(q34;q11) and to identify additional abnormalities such as t(1;2)(p36;p21), del (6)(q21), +del(8)(q22), del(18)(q21), +der (22), some of which are not typical for this kind of neoplasia. This case is compared with publications of the same cases. Our data suggested that detected changes can be correlated with previous treatment regimens and the influence of these changes on progression of disease is discussed.
