title: Low density lipoprotein receptor activity in human leukemic cells--relation to chromosome aberrations.
abstract: Chromosome analysis and low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor activity of leukemic cells from 38 patients with acute non-lymphocytic leukemia were correlated. Clonal chromosome aberrations were found in 22 patients, and an extra chromosome 8 was found in 7 of them. LDL receptor activity was significantly higher in patients with an extra chromosome 8 than in patients with other abnormalities or a normal karyotype. Chromosome 8 may harbor genes of importance for the expression of the LDL receptor.
