title: Translocation (1;17) in accelerating and blast phases of chronic myelogenous leukemia.
abstract: A translocation (1;17)(p11;q11) has been observed in two chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) patients studied during the accelerated or acute stages of their diseases. In a review of the literature, four additional cases of t(1;17)(p11;q11) were identified, suggesting that this marker may be specific for the terminal phase of CML.
