Complete or partial monosomies of the long arm of chromosome 5 and/or 17p are common findings in myeloid malignancies, particularly in therapy-related myeloid disorders. They usually result from interstitial or terminal deletions and less frequently from unbalanced rearrangements such as dicentric chromosomes. One of the recurring unbalanced translocation in myeloid malignancies is the unbalanced dicentric translocation dic(5;17)(q11-14;p11-13) that results in complete or partial monosomy for the long arm of chromosome 5 and the short arm of chromosome 17.
