LAP negative and Ph1-positive hemorrhagic thrombocythemia.
Cytochemical and cytogenetic studies were carried out in 4 patients with chronic myeloproliferative disorders. These corresponded only partially to the clinical and hematologic criteria for the diagnosis of hemorrhagic thrombocythemia (HT), yet with a low leukocyte alkaline phosphatase (LAP) level and in the presence of the Ph1 positive 46, XX, mitoses. The authors discuss the significance of the presence of the Ph1 chromosome as well as the possibility of transition forms among chronic myeloproliferative disorders.
