Abstract
Monosomy X as the sole acquired cytogenetic abnormality is usually found in
myeloid hematological malignancies, especially those with myelodysplastic
features. Only three cases of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with this
abnormality have been previously reported. We add two cases to this series
and comment on the likelihood of a tumor suppressor gene being located on t
he X chromosome.
