title: A Case of AML-M2 with Sole Interstitial Deletion in 9q Without AML1-ETO/Inv 16 Rearrangement and FLT3/NPMI Mutations.
abstract: Conventional/molecular cytogenetics is important in identification of genomic abnormalities, for prognostication and in risk stratification of de novo patients with acute myeloid leukemias (AML). Here we present an AML M2 case showing the sole karyotypic abnormality, the rare interstitial deletion in the long arm of chromosome 9 with the loss of segment q12-q13.
