Abstract excerpt
Acquired loss of material from chromosome 5 in bone marrow cells is common in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute myelocytic leukemia (AML). In this study, we have applied fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analyses with probes for the three regions 5p15.2, 5q31, 5q33-q34, and whole chromosome 5 painting probes (WCP 5) to investigate what further information could be gained regarding the cytogenetic...
