title: Complex translocations in a patient with chronic myelocytic leukemia: t(9;22;17) and t(10;18;19) after two failed bone marrow transplantations.
abstract: A 6-year-old white boy with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) (adult type) developed complex translocations after a bone marrow transplant (BMT): t(9;22;17)(q34;q11;p12) t(10;18;19)(p11;q11;p12) and in the accelerated phase. The patient relapsed after his BMT and underwent a second BMT after a documented blast crisis. The previous karyotypic translocations persisted.
