| Abstract: | Serial cytogenetic analyses from the bone marrow of a patient with blastic phase of a Philadelphia chromosome-negative chronic myeloid leukemia revealed a t(3;5)(p21;q31). The literature on translocations involving chromosome 3 and the long arm of chromosome 5 is reviewed. The importance of breakpoints in band 5q31 is discussed. |
