Chronic myeloid leukemia: Relevance of cytogenetic and molecular assays
2016, Critical Reviews in Oncology/HematologyCitation Excerpt :This is followed by a reverse translocation involving different breakpoints, which reconstitutes the partner chromosomes. The BCR-ABL fusion gene can be situated at the usual locus (22q11) or at the reciprocal locus on 9q34, depending on whether the second breakpoints are distal or proximal to the fusion genes, respectively (Bennour et al., 2008). In a further study (Bennour et al., 2011), we explored cryptic rearrangements involving chromosomes 9 and 22 in 3CML patients with an apparently normal bone marrow karyotypes using multiplex RT-PCR and FISH with commercial and home-brew probes.
Molecular cytogenetic characterization of variant Philadelphia translocations in chronic myeloid leukemia: genesis and deletion of derivative chromosome 9
2009, Cancer Genetics and CytogeneticsCitation Excerpt :Case 6 demonstrates a masked BCR/ABL fusion gene on chromosome 3. It results from a two-step mechanism, as revealed by WCP and BAC probes [5]. Variant Ph rearrangements involve additional chromosomes and, possibly, additional genes implicated with the BCR/ABL rearrangement.
