title: [A relationship between the breakpoint of the bcr gene and some hematologic parameters in patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia].
abstract: We examined the hybrid bcr/abl mRNA present in 59 patients with chronic myeloid leukemia, using the reverse transcription method and polymerase chain reaction. Bcr/abl gene was found in 98% of patients. 60% of patients had b3a2 type of translocation, 40% type b2a2. Patients with b3a2 type had higher platelet count at diagnosis presentation than patients with b2a2. Other hematological data were similar in both groups.
