title: Isochromosome 14q and leukemia with dysplastic features.
abstract: We report a case of chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMMoL) with unusual features and an isochromosome 14q as the sole abnormality. A review of the literature suggests that isochromosome 14q (or trisomy 14) is a marker of leukemia with dysplastic features.
