title: Translocation 1;7 in hematologic disorders: a brief review of 22 cases.
abstract: A translocation t(1;7)(p11;p11), previously reported in patients with myelodysplasia or leukemia has been found in seven new cases. The present report briefly reviews the cytogenetic and clinical features of 22 patients with this translocation. The majority of these patients had a history of occupational or therapeutic exposure to toxic substances or radiation. Trisomy 8 or 21 were the most common additional abnormalities, especially in leukemic patients. The t(1;7) should be added to the group of specific cytogenetic abnormalities observed frequently in secondary myelodysplasia and leukemia.
