Ag. Turkina et al., PROGNOSTIC-SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STRUCTURE OF CHROMOSOMAL TRANSLOCATION-T (9 22) LOCUS IN CHRONIC MYELOID-LEUKEMIA, Gematologia i transfuziologia, 38(3), 1993, pp. 8-11
The site of the break of chromosome 22 was investigated by blot hybrid
ization and polymerase chain reaction in 41 patients with chronic myel
oid leukemia (CML). It is stated that the break site in various region
s is not associated with the disease stage and clinicohematological ma
nifestations in the time of the diagnosis. The break in the 5' subregi
on was indicative of longer survival than that in the subregion 3' pat
ients. Median survival reached 60.8 and 32.4 months, respectively.
