Biclonal acute monoblastic leukemia showing del(7q) and trisomies 9 and 22

Cancer Genet Cytogenet. 1995 Jul 1;82(1):70-2. doi: 10.1016/0165-4608(94)00227-3.

Abstract

Cytogenetic biclonality is a rare phenomenon in acute myeloid leukemia. We report a case of acute monoblastic leukemia with biclonal cytogenetic abnormalities, showing an abnormal clone with an unusual occurrence of trisomy 9 and trisomy 22, in addition to a second clone with deletion of the long arm of chromosome 7 as the only abnormality. The significance of these findings in leukemogenesis is discussed.
