Summary The cytogenetic analyses of direct bone marrow preparations in a 53 years old male with acute erythroleukaemia of 9 months disease history, revealed persistently a G-trisomy in a dominant cell line with 47 chromosomes. The peripheral blood culture preparations with phytohaemagglutinin exhibited normal diploid cell line.The frequent occurrence of akute leukaemia in Down's syndrome tempts to implicate that leukaemia with G-Trisomy having no signs of Down's syndrome is a somatic mutation initiated by some unknown hereditary recessive genes mechanisms.
