title: Variant translocation t(15q;17q) accompanying a promyelocytic accelerated phase of Ph-positive chronic myeloid leukemia.
abstract: One case of Philadelphia-positive chronic myeloid leukemia showed a high promyelocytic component associated with a variant t(15q-,17q+) translocation. A key role for chromosome #17 in the promyelocytic proliferation and/or differentiation is emphasized.
