Redefining monosomy 5 by molecular cytogenetics in 23 patients with MDS/AML

Abstract excerpt

Deletion of the long arm of chromosome 5 [del(5q)] or loss of a whole chromosome 5 (-5) is a common finding, arising de novo in 10% of patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and in 40% of patients with therapy-related MDS or AML. We investigated by molecular cytogenetics 23 MDS/AML patients for whom conventional cytogenetics detected a monosomy 5. Monosomy 5 was redefined as...
