Y chromosome in leukemia patients. A study on the heteromorphic nature of its heterochromatic segment.
Possible heteromorphism of Y chromosome regions was studied in 50 leukemia patients and 50 healthy controls. The mean length of the Y chromosome was insignificantly higher in the patients as compared to the controls. No difference was observed in the size of the euchromatic region; however, the size of the heterochromatic region was significantly larger in leukemia patients as compared to the controls.
