Inv(12)(q15q24): a nonrandom change associated with myelodysplasia?
A patient with refractory anemia and a paracentric inversion of chromosome 12, inv(12)(q15q24), is described. This is the second reported case with this chromosome anomaly, suggesting that this rearrangement is a rare but nonrandom change associated with myelodysplastic syndromes.
