Abstract
Cytogenetic investigation of the bone marrow of two patients with acute nonlymphocytic leukemia (ANLL), French-American-British Cooperative group (FAB) classification M2, revealed a translocation (8;22)(q22.1;q13.3), without involving chromosome 21, and a variant translocation (8;21)(q22;q22). These findings, together with a del(8)(q22) found in a patient with refractory anemia, erythroblastic (RAEB)-t with progression to acute myelogenous leukemia (AML)-M4, are discussed in relation to the possible role of abnormalities of chromosomes 8 and 21 in the oncogenesis of ANLL M2 and M4.
