Karyotype relapse

Mol cytogenet technics
Spectral Karyotyping (SKY) using SkyPaint ASR (Applied Spectral Imaging). The marker seen in the first clone was elucidated as a derivative chromosome 9 (figure 3). The study confirm the der(7;9) seen in the second clone (figure 4).

Comments section
Comments
From the 18 cases, 11 have no data of survival, 4 achieved long term remission and 3 died. Our children remain in clinical remission 45 days after induction therapy with intermediate risk BFM 95 (Berlin-Frankfurt-Munster) protocol.
