| Comments |
| This study reports the presence of an unbalanced translocation between chromosome 1 and chromosome 18 in a in a pediatric patient with persistent thrombocytopenia and intermittent neutropenia. Unbalanced translocations involving the long arm of chromosome 1 and different partners are recurrent cytogenetic abnormalities, mainly reported in myeloid neoplasms. Centromeric fusion between chromosome 1 and chromosome 18, leading to a gain of 1q and loss of 18p, is rarely observed. This abnormality is relatively restricted to myelodysplastic syndromes and myloproliferative disorders, indicating that gain of 1q and/or loss of 18p should be relevant for neoplastic transformation in these diseases. |
