Lymphoid blast crisis of B-lineage phenotype with monosomy 7 in a patient with juvenile chronic myelogenous leukemia (JCML).
1994
We studied a patient with juvenile chronic myelogenous leukemia (JCML) whose terminal course was characterized by transformation to acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Karyotypic studies identified monosomy 7 in leukemic myelomonocytic marrow cells during the chronic phase and in the lymphoblasts during the transformation phase. Our ability to sustain the transformed lymphoblasts in culture allowed us to characterize them further. CD19, HLA-DR, and CD10 were present, consistent with a pre-B acute lymphoblastic leukemia phenotype. CD14 (My-4) and CD13 (My-7) were negative. Rearrangement of immunoglobulin heavy- and light-chain genes identified monoclonal populations of cells of the B lineage
