[Karyotype in chronic myeloid leukemia in a blastic crisis. I. Monosomy 16].
One case of Chronic Granulocytic Leukemia is reported, in which the patient showed, during a blastic crisis, an aneupolid cariotype 45, XX, t (9; 22) (q34; q11), -16. This paper emphasizes the rare involvement of the chromosome 16 in Leukemias, and stresses the high frequency of the alterations of the chromosome group E in the course of blastic crisis.
