PG - 37-41 AB - We report cytogenetic, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and molecular analyses in the first reported case of an acute leukemia with two BCR-positive clones: one cell Ph-positive and all others Ph-negative. A BCR/ABL fusion gene on 9q34 was detected only with a BCR/ABL dual color translocation probe. These FISH interphase signals must be confirmed on a metaphase to avoid an erroneous interpretation. This observation appears to indicate a 2-step mechanism for this aberrant fusion gene localization: first, a classical t(9;22), and then the transfer of the fusion gene formed on chromosome 22 to chromosome 9 by a second translocation between the long arms of the derivative chromosomes 9q+ and 22q-, masking the first chromosome exchange.
