Trisomy 10 in acute myeloid leukemia

Cancer Genet Cytogenet. 1996 Jul 15;89(2):114-7. doi: 10.1016/0165-4608(95)00263-4.

Abstract

We observed two patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) exhibiting trisomy 10 as the sole chromosome abnormality at the time of diagnosis. One patient was diagnosed with AML-MO, and the other with AML-M2. Both cases were CD7-antigen positive. However, we could not find any distinct clinico-hematologic characteristics of AML with trisomy 10 in these two patients. Trisomy 10 might be a rare recurring numerical chromosome abnormality and the incidence may be about 0.5% in de novo AML.
