Trisomy 13 in a case of myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia with early blastic transformation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a case of early myeloid blastic transformation in a 64-year-old man suffering from myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia. Both chronic and blastic phase cytogenetic analysis showed trisomy 13 to be the sole chromosome aberration. A potential role for this rare abnormality in determining such an unusually poor clinical outcome is discussed.

The most frequent abnormal findings were a 20q- deletion in six cases (either alone or within complex anomalies), interstitial 13q- deletion in three cases (and monosomy 13 in one case), and acqu...

An unexpectedly high incidence of blast transformation after splenectomy has been reported in patients with myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia. However, whether this was associated with spleen removal after adjustment for risk factors was not determined. We conducted a multicenter historical cohort study of patients with myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia diagnosed from January 1970 throu...
