Date of Publication: 2002. | Abstract: | Two acute promyelocytic leukaemia patients, treated with all-trans retinoic acid and combination chemotherapy, acquired a deletion of 11q within 12 months of diagnosis. One patient died in relapse, with both t(15;17) and del(11q) cell lines co-existing. Patient 2 remains in remission with del(11q) in 70% metaphases, despite normal marrow morphology. No deletion of the MLL gene was identified in the latter patient. The early appearance of a del(11q) is unusual, particularly without morphological evidence of myelodysplasia. We hypothesize that the del(11q) was therapy-induced but the absence of other genetic lesions has resulted in no accompanying morphological changes. | DOI: | http://monash.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1046/j.1365-2141.2002.03553.x | PubMed URL: | 12100154 [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=12100154] | ISSN: | 0007-1048 | URI: | https://repository.monashhealth.org/monashhealthjspui/handle/1/33043 | Type: | Article | Type of Clinical Study or Trial: | Case series or case report |
