title: Malignant hematologic disorders in two Robertsonian 13;14 translocation carriers.
abstract: Two patients with a malignant hematologic disorder appeared to carry a constitutional Robertsonian 13;14 translocation. The presence of this translocation in relation to hematologic diseases is discussed. No conclusion can be made at present on the observed association. The translocation might predispose to malignant transformation, but its presence might also be purely coincidental.
