PG - 68-74 AB - Trisomy 8 (+8) is a common clonal evolution marker for progression in chronic myelogenous leukemia. The relationship of +8 to various stages of t(9;22) leukemias is not firmly established. To explore this association we examined bone marrow (BM) cells from 10 Philadelphia chromosome positive (Ph+) chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients in different stages of the disease, using conventional cytogenetic technique(CCT) and interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). FISH detection of chromosome 8 was accomplished using the D8Z2 (Oncor) probe specific for the centrometric region of chromosome 8. Five hundred interphase nuclei were counted for each patient. Three of the 10 patients were selected for detection of c-myc gene locus located in the 8q24.2-24.3 region using the L FAU - Oudat, R AU - Oudat R AD - Department of Hematopathology, The University of Texas, M.
