Abstract

Banding techniques have been applied to the study of the karyotypic alterations associated with acute nonlymphocytic leukemia (ANLL). These studies have identified nonrandom changes which preferentially involve certain chromosomal elements. Correlation of these chromosomal aberrations with the clinical ahd hematological findings indicates the existence of clinicocytogenetic syndromes. These patients exhibit specific chromosomal alterations with a well-defined hematological picture and clinical behavior. In this article the clinical implications of the various types of specific chromosomal abnormalities seen in acute nonlymphocytic leukemia, as found in our laboratory and as reported in the literature, are reviewed and discussed.

Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disease with approximately 20,000 cases per year in the United States. AML also accounts for 15-20% of all childhood acute leukemias, while it is responsible for more than half of the leukemic deaths in these patients. Here is the latest research on this disease.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
