    Notes: Abstract We report the case of a patient with chronic phase CML who exhibited, in the same cells, beside the Philadelphia chromosome, an additional translocation between the other chromosome 9 and one of the chromosomes 12 [t(9;12)(p13;q24.1)]. Complete cytogenetic remission with disappearance of both karyotypic abnormalities was achieved after 18 months treatment with low dose (1.4 × 106 U/m2/day) recombinant alpha-interferon and has been sustained with maintenance therapy for 68+ months (actual follow-up). Clonality at diagnosis and recovery of polyclonal hematopoiesis in complete cytogenetic remission were demonstrated using the polymorphism at the human androgen receptor gene (Humara) locus on chromosome X. The role of the additional translocation in the response to low dose alpha-interferon therapy remains hypothetical.

    Notes: Summary A disturbance of the X chromosome inactivation process has been demonstrated in some human tumors. In order to study this phenomenon in leukemia, the site of unusually frequent folding in Xq13-q21 was used as a morphological marker. A total of 858 GTG-banded mitoses from 61 women with different hematological malignancies were analyzed, 35 of them with normal karyotype and 26 with chromosome aberrations. The folding patterns and the fold percentage remained unchanged in our patients. Using this marker, X-inactivation could easily be verified in leukemia and related disorders on routine preparations.
