M. Salido et al., New t(11;12)(q12;q11) characterized by RxFISH in a patient with T-cell large granular lymphocyte leukemia, CANC GENET, 125(1), 2001, pp. 70-73
Chromosomal abnormalities in patients with large granular lymphocyte leukem
ia (LGLL) are rare. Herein we present a novel cytogenetic abnormality t(11;
12)(q12;q11) in a patient with LGLL identified by cross-species color bandi
ng (RxFISH). The application of RxFISH allowed the rapid and easy identific
ation of a chromosome rearrangement that was not recognized by conventional
cytogenetics. Therefore, RxFISH is a suitable complement to, but not a rep
lacement for, conventional cytogenetics. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Inc. All
