Cytogenetic and molecular delineation of a region of chromosome 7 commonly deleted in malignant myeloid diseases.

Abstract excerpt

Loss of a whole chromosome 7 or a deletion of the long arm, del(7q), are recurring abnormalities in malignant myeloid diseases. To determine the location of genes on 7q that are likely to play a role in leukemogenesis, we examined the deleted chromosome 7 homologs in a series of 81 patients with therapy-related or de novo myelodysplastic syndrome or acute myeloid leukemia. Our analysis showed that the deletions...
