Trisomy 19 and T(9;22) In a Patient with Acute Basophilic Leukemia
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a case of acute basophilic leukemia with two coexisting clonal abnormalities, t(9;22) and trisomy 19. The blast showed positive reaction with myeloperoxidase but negative reaction with chloroacetate esterase and acid phosphatase. Metachromatic features of the blast were observed with toluidine blue stain. Ultrastructure study showed the presence of azurophilic granules in basophils and blast mast cells. Conventional and molecular cytogenetic studies revealed, t(9;22) with BCR/ABL positive and trisomy 19 in all metaphase cells. To our knowledge, this paper here is the first to present acute basophilic leukemia with trisomy 19 and t(9;22).

To the editor : Chromosome 19 abnormalities are commonly seen in AML , M 7
A recent paper by Dastugue et al1 reported the cytogenetic profile of 53 patients with acute megakaryoblastic leukemia (FAB-M7). The authors studied 30 children and 23 adults evaluated by the Groupe Français de Cytogénétique Hématologique, and identified 9 different groups based on their conventional cytogenetic analysis. These groups reflect, in part, the known association of M7 leukemia with ...

متن کاملClinical and Cytogenetic Analyses in Pakistani Leukemia Patients
Cytogenetic evaluation at diagnosis of leukemia bears invaluable prognostic significance. Since cytogenetic analysis is neither a routine clinical practice nor such studies have been conducted in Pakistan on a large scale basis, the current study was set out to determining the most common clinical features of leukemia, cytogenetic abnormalities and to correlating these with prognosis, age, sex,...
متن کاملImpact of additional cytogenetic aberrations at diagnosis on prognosis of CML: long-term observation of 1151 patients from the randomized CML Study IV.
The prognostic relevance of additional cytogenetic findings at diagnosis of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is unclear. The impact of additional cytogenetic findings at diagnosis on time to complete cytogenetic (CCR) and major molecular remission (MMR) and progression-free (PFS) and overall survival (OS) was analyzed using data from 1151 Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph(+)) CML patients rand...
