Clinics and Pathology

Disease	Myeloid malignancies
Phenotype / cell stem origin	Myloproliferative diseases (MPD) in 3 of 10 available cases (polycytemia vera (PV) in all 3 cases), myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) in 6 cases (mainly refractory anaemia (RA): 5 cases; RARS in one case), acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) of M7 type in one case.
Epidemiology	At least 10 cases; balanced sex ratio (5M/5F); median age was 47 yrs (range 15-81)
	Kaplan-Meier on 10 cases of dic(1;15) from the literature; survivals (in months) were: 4, 14, 23+, 24+, 27, 40+, 93+, 96, 235.
Prognosis	About 60% of cases were still alive 2 to 8 yrs after diagnosis (see figure1), but with a too short follow up of a too small cohort, no real conclusions can be drawn. It is likely that the prognosis depend more on the haematological diagnosis (AML versus MDS, vs MPD).

Cytogenetics

Cytogenetics Morphological

presents as-15, + dic(1;15) in most, if not all, cases. It therefore results in trisomy 1q.; sole anomaly in about half cases, accompanied with del(5q) twice, +8 once, del(20q) once.

Genes involved and Proteins

Note	Genes involved are unknown; the translocation breakpoints are likely to be in heterochromatic regions

To be noted

Additional cases are needed to delineate the epidemiology of this rare entity: you are welcome to submit a paper to our new Case Report section.
