Trisomy 4 in a case of acute lymphocytic leukemia (L1)

Cancer Genet Cytogenet. 1992 Aug;62(1):88-91. doi: 10.1016/0165-4608(92)90045-a.

Abstract

Trisomy 4 has been identified previously as a chromosome abnormality associated with acute nonlymphocytic leukemia (ANLL) with myelomonocytic lineage and in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). We report a case of acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) (French-American-British, FAB L1) in a 42-year-old Japanese man, with trisomy 4 as the sole chromosomal anomaly. Immunophenotypically, the leukemic blasts demonstrated reactivity with CD2, CD5, and CD7 and indicated on early stage of T cell.
