J. Dierlamm et al., IDER(9)(Q10)T(9-22)(Q34-Q11) IS A RECURRENT CHROMOSOMAL ABNORMALITY IN ACUTE LYMPHOBLASTIC-LEUKEMIA AND LYMPHATIC BLASTIC PHASE OF CHRONIC MYELOGENOUS LEUKEMIA, Cancer genetics and cytogenetics, 89(2), 1996, pp. 109-113
We report on two cases, one with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and a se
cond with lymphatic blastic phase of Philadelphia chromosome-positive
chronic myelogenous leukemia, cytogenetically characterized by ider(9)
(q10)t(9;22)(q34;q11). Our findings and the data of the 4 cases previo
usly published indicate that ider(9)(q10)t(9;22)(q34;q11) represents a
rare but recurrent chromosomal abnormality occurring in hematological
malignancies with lymph old differentiation, namely acute lymphoblast
ic leukemia and lymphatic blastic phase of chronic myelogenous leukemi
a, and most likely evolves from a preexistent der(9) involved in the s
tandard t(9;22).
