Trisomies in Hematologic Malignancies
Acquired clonal chromosome aberrations, closely associated with leukemogenesis, are found in many hematologic malignancies. Although the balanced rearrangements, such as translocations and inversions, are the ones most commonly thought of in the context of leukemias, gains of chromosomes ? e.g.., trisomies ? are also frequent. Little is known about the biologic outcome, the pathogenetic significan
