Comments section

Comments
One third of the metaphases examined (8/24) were apparently normal male while the remaining majority of cells showed a balanced translocation between chromosomes 5 and 10. This translocation is poorly known: only 2 cases of atypical chronic myeloid leikemia of unknown prognosis. Further cases will help defining this rare entity.
