On the Xq13 breakpoint: clinical and cytogenetic observations in a patient with acute myelogenous leukemia.
Cytogenetic study in a case of acute myelogenous leukemia revealed the presence of two identical dicentric marker chromosomes derived from an X with Xq13 breakpoints. Clinical and cytochemical findings suggest that the patient was affected by idiopathic acquired sideroblastic anemia before the acute leukemia.
