Abstract excerpt
Rearrangements of chromosome 3 involving bands 3q21 and 3q26 have been reported in about 2% of patients with acute myeloid leukemia, and rarely in myelodysplastic syndrome or chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). To date, only six cases of inversion of both homologues have been reported. Loss of normal chromosome 3 and duplication of the inverted chromosome have been proposed as the most likely mechanism, but have...
