title: Diagnostic and prognostic significance of t(1;3)(p36;q21) in the disorders of hematopoiesis.
abstract: We describe a cytogenetic abnormality with important diagnostic and prognostic implications. The translocation t(1;3)(p36;q21) is an acquired chromosomal rearrangement associated with myelodysplastic syndromes, which have a high propensity for conversion to refractory acute nonlymphocytic leukemia.
