Chromosomal Aberrations in Childhood Acute Nonlymphoblastic Leukemia

Acute Leukemias II

Part of the book series: Haematology and Blood Transfusion / Hämatologie und Bluttransfusion ((HAEMATOLOGY,volume 33))

Abstract

Cytogenetic analysis has become an important factor in the characterization of a leukemic cell population in addition to morphological, immunological, and cytochemical criteria [1]. Blast cells of patients with acute nonlymphoblastic leukemia (ANLL) show specific karyotypic changes, which are of diagnostic and probably prognostic value concerning the course of the disease. We report here the cytogenetic investigation of children with ANLL during a 5-year period (January 1984 – December 1988). Most of the patients were treated according to the protocol of the AML-BFM study group.
