    ..e., in one third of male cases and one fifth of all cases). These preliminary results may point to the existence of a recurrent chromosome abnormality, either translocation at a specific Xq27 locus or duplication of Xq27-qter...

    Victorian Cancer Cytogenetics Service, Department of Medicine, St Vincent s Hospital Melbourne and University of Melbourne, Fitzroy Vic, Australia
    Cancer Genet Cytogenet 163:176-9. 2005
    ..We speculate that a region of proximal 20q is preferentially retained during deletions of the critical region in MDS and acute myeloid leukemia...

    Genes Chromosomes Cancer 46:27-36. 2007
    ..This would explain the excess of dicentric chromosomes resulting from 17;20 translocation, and the apparent stabilization of the unstable derivatives by further rearrangements which preserve 17p and 20q material...

    ..The reported incidence of dicentric chromosomes is clearly an under-estimate but is increasing in myeloid disorders as more cases are studied with methods allowing their detection...

    ..The single colour galleries - which show the hybridisation patterns of the individual fluorochromes - are useful to help interpret and confirm the false colour images produced by the software, including ambiguous signals...

    Ruth N MacKinnon
    Victorian Cancer Cytogenetics Service, St Vincent s Hospital, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
    Cancer Genet 204:153-61. 2011
    ..This points to a more complex mechanism of translocation involving at least three breakpoints and two separate events, and raises questions about the order of these events and the significance of these abnormalities...
