Abstract

The well-known typical fusion gene BCR/ABL is observed in connection with a complex translocation event in 5-8% of cases of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). The present study described an exceptional CML case with complex chromosomal aberrations not previously observed. Aberrations included a translocated BCR to the derivative chromosome 2 [der(2)] that also involved a four-chromosome translocation, implying chromosomal regions 1p32 and 2q21, besides 9q34 and 22q11.2, which were characterized by molecular cytogenetics.
