Isochromosome (17q) in Philadelphia chromosome (Ph1)-negative juvenile chronic myelocytic leukemia. 1981

R Casalone, and D Francesconi, and F Pasquali, and B Comotti, and F Vaccari

A dicentric isochromosome of the long arm of one chromosome #17 was the only abnormality present in a 12-year-old boy with Philadelphia chromosome (Ph1)-negative juvenile chronic myelocytic leukemia. This association does not seem to have been reported in the literature. It is postulated that the finding of an isochromosome (17q) may also have a negative prognostic value in the Ph1-negative type of chronic myelogenous leukemia.

D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.

D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell

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.
