title: Recurrent unbalanced whole-arm t(1;10)(q10;p10) in myelodysplastic syndrome: a case report and literature review.
abstract: We report a patient with myelodysplastic syndrome (refractory anemia) showing the karyotype 46,XY,+1,der(1;10)(q10;p10), resulting in trisomy 1q and monosomy 10q abnormality. This finding suggests that either trisomy of 1q or centromeric connection between chromosomes 1 and 10, rather than the absence of 10q, might be essential toward neoplastic transformation.
