Acute leukemia with C-G chromosome translocation.
characterized by a specific chromosomal marker (the Philadelphia chromosome, Ph’), a significant percentage of all morphologic types of leukemia, except possibly chronic lymphocytic leukemia, will demonstrate aneuploidy. This report describes the occurrence of acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) in a young man with a balanced C-G translocation, t(Cp; Gp+), a rare chromosomal abnormality not previo...
متن کاملAcute promyelocytic leukemia associated with hypofibrinogenemia.
APROMYELOCYTOID” bone marrow and disturbances in fibrinogen are prominent features of a form of leukemia which is characterized by a rapid course, severe hemorrhage and poor response to therapy. This study is based upon 17 patients observed over the past 9 years. The first seven patients in this series were the basis of a brief report’ in 1955 of the occurrence of hypofibrinogenemia in acute le...
متن کاملCytogenetic and FMS-Like Tyrosine Kinase 3 Mutation Analyses in Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia Patients
Background: The secondary genetic changes other than the promyelocytic leukemia-retinoic acid receptor (PML-RARA) fusion gene may contribute to the acute promyelocytic leukemogenesis. Chromosomal alterations and mutation of FLT3 (FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3) tyrosine kinase receptor are the frequent genetic alterations in acute myeloid leukemia. However, the prognostic significance of FLT3 mutat...
متن کاملClinical and molecular characterization of a rare syndrome of acute promyelocytic leukemia associated with translocation (11;17).
Analysis of a variant translocation t(11;17) in a case of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) led to discovery of a novel zinc finger gene, PLZF, fused to the retinoic acid receptor-alpha (RAR alpha) gene. We reviewed the clinical and molecular features of five additional patients with t(11;17)-associated APL. The clinical course of three patients was characterized by early death and three exper...
متن کاملAcute Promyelocytic Leukemia Lacking the Classic Translocation t(15;17)
Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a subtype of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) characterized by the reciprocal translocation t(15;17)(q22;q12) resulting in the fusion gene PML-RARA and an oncoprotein that impairs myeloid differentiation (Arber et al., 2008; de The et al., 1990; Rowley et al., 1977). Morphological and clinical characteristics include hypergranular leukemic promyelocytes, Auer r...
