pubmed:abstractText
Emergence of additional cytogenetic clones in chronic myelocytic leukemia (CML) patients who become Philadelphia chromosome-negative (Ph-) after alpha-interferon therapy (or more recently with imatinib mesylate) have been described. We report here a case of a novel t(6;7)(p21;q23) that developed in a CML patient in complete cytogenetic remission during imatinib therapy. In this case, fluorescence in situ hybridization and reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction showed a normal pattern for BCR and ABL genes, suggesting that a different and unrelated clone developed after the disappearance of the Ph chromosome.
