[Cytogenetic analysis in acute leukemia]. 1989

Leukemic cells often show clonal cytogenetic abnormalities. Some of these are strongly associated with certain morphological subgroups and seem to be of prognostic importance. Cytogenetic studies and molecular genetic investigations using recombinant DNA technology have contributed to our understanding of the development of leukemia. This article reviews earlier work on cytogenetic findings in acute leukemia, and adds our own experiences.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007938 Leukemia A progressive, malignant disease of the blood-forming organs, characterized by distorted proliferation and development of leukocytes and their precursors in the blood and bone marrow. Leukemias were originally termed acute or chronic based on life expectancy but now are classified according to cellular maturity. Acute leukemias consist of predominately immature cells; chronic leukemias are composed of more mature cells.

D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D001853 Bone Marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.
