[Three cases of acute promyelocytic leukemia. Exhibition of the t(15; 17) translocation in the three cases (author's transl)].
Cytogenetics studies were performed on the bone marrow aspirate in three cases of acute promyelocytic leukemia. In all of them the specific chromosome abnormality translocation t(15;17) was found. We obtained the chromosome preparations after a 48 h-culture. The exhibition of the t(15; 17) seems to be dependent on the methodology which is used.
