Abstract excerpt
Both the expression of the multidrug transporter, P-glycoprotein (Pgp), and abnormalities of the long arm of chromosome 7 have been shown to be adverse prognostic indicators in acute leukemias. In this study, a clonal duplication, dup(7)(q11.1q31.1), inherited with the classical multidrug resistant phenotype in a drug-resistant derivative of a human T-cell leukemia cell line was characterized.
