The C-band heterochromatin polymorphism of chromosomes 1, 9, and 16 was studied in lymphocytes from 53 patients with Ph1-positive chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and 183 control persons. The patients had significantly larger heterochromatic blocks on chromosome 16 (p less than 0.01) and fewer partial inversions of chromosome 9 (p less than 0.05) than the control persons, whereas no differences were found for the symmetry/asymmetry pattern. We suggest that the increased constitutive heterochromatin regions may, via sister chromosome exchange, facilitate homo- or hemizygotization of genes which favor neoplasia development and/or progression.
