Özet

Objective: The Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome, consisting of the t(9;22)(q34;q11) translocation, is observed in similar to 90% of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Variant Ph translocations are observed in 5%-40% of CML patients. In variant translocations 3 and possibly more chromosomes are involved. Herein we report 6 CML patients with variant Ph translocations.
