Abstract

We have analyzed 75 referral cases of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) registered in our Research Institute, Supratech Genopath Laboratory of Ahmedabad. Karyotype analysis of bone marrow and blood samples revealed 7 cases (9.3%) were AML positive. Out of these cases, 3 patients (4%) have recurrent chromosomal anomalies of t(8;21) and t(15;17) and other 4 (5.3%) had AML with MDS related changes in which one karyotype had 4 chromosomal abnormalities viz, two each of trisomy and monosomy respectively . This group has poor prognosis.
