[Clinical morphological, cytogenetic and genealogical studies of patients with chronic monocytic leukemia].
The introduction in clinical practice of modern methods of cytogenetic assays offers new opportunities in studying the nature of leukemia. Up to date, however, no due attention was given to the recognition of chromosome disorders in patients with chronic monocytic leukemia (CML). Study on the karyotype in 20 patients with chronic monocytic leukemia indicated that chromosome anomalies lie in both the changed chromosome number and their structure, in the phase of marked clinical manifestations these changes being increased, while in the stage of remission--being reduced. A rather high incidence of malignancies in near relations of patients with CML supports a suggestion of the related pathogenetic mechanisms underlying leukemia and malignant tumors.
