11Q - AND CONSTITUTIONAL X TRISOMY IN A PATIENT WITH M5B ACUTE NON-LYMPHOCYTIC LEUKEMIA
1993
: A patient with M5b acute nonlymphoblastic leukemia (ANLL) and a 47,XXX del(11) (q23) karyotype is described. Partial remission was obtained after treatment with daunorubicin, arabinosylcytosine and VP-16. Subsequently, two courses of chemotherapy for resistant ANLL were administered without achieving complete remission. Abnormalities of chromosome 11 are typical of M4 and M5 ANLL. X trisomy is one of the most common human aneuploidia; however, correlation with increased incidence of hematological neoplasia has not been described.
