Abstract
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.
