Abstract
Introduction: Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is genetically characterized by the fusion of promyelocytic leukemia (PML) gene with retinoic acid receptor alpha (RARα) resulting from a t(15;17)(q24;q21) chromosomal translocation. An infrequent but recurrent finding in APL is the formation of an isochromosome of the derivative chromosome 17; ider(17)(q10)t(15;17) or ider(17q). This rearrangement in APL results in an additional copy of the PML-RARα fusion gene as well as loss of 17p/TP53. Due to the infrequent occurrence of the ider(17q), the prognostic impact of this genetic finding is not well known. Case Presentation(s): Here, we describe the clinical characteristics and outcomes of our case series of 5 patients with ider(17q) APL treated at the University of Maryland and Johns Hopkins University.
Conclusion: In our series, patients with APL with ider(17q) did not have a worse prognosis.
期刊介绍：
''Acta Haematologica'' is a well-established and internationally recognized clinically-oriented journal featuring balanced, wide-ranging coverage of current hematology research. A wealth of information on such problems as anemia, leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, hereditary disorders, blood coagulation, growth factors, hematopoiesis and differentiation is contained in first-rate basic and clinical papers some of which are accompanied by editorial comments by eminent experts. These are supplemented by short state-of-the-art communications, reviews and correspondence as well as occasional special issues devoted to ‘hot topics’ in hematology. These will keep the practicing hematologist well informed of the new developments in the field.
