Anomalies of chromosome 1 as a possible prognostic index in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Cancer Genetics and Cytogenetics
|February 15, 1985
Abstract:
Complete remission rates, remission duration, and survival were established in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with chromosome #1 anomalies, and the results were compared with those in patients with normal karyotypes or other chromosomal changes. Even though the complete remission rate did not differ significantly among the three groups, remission duration and survival were significantly longer in children ALL and chromosome #1 anomalies as compared with those in the other two groups.

01:17Karyotyping
Describing the number and physical features of chromosomes can reveal abnormalities that underlie genetic diseases. This description is facilitated by special staining techniques that produce a particular banding pattern on each chromosome. State-of-the-art techniques make this approach even more powerful, enabling the detection of individual genes that cause disease.A Simple Chromosome Staining Technique Provides Valuable Scientific InsightSome genetic diseases can be detected by looking at...
01:27Disorders of Leukocytes
Leukocyte disorders can lead to either leukopenia, characterized by an abnormally low leukocyte count, or leukocytosis, marked by a very high leukocyte number.
Leukopenia may result from bone marrow disorders, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases. For example, conditions such as multiple myeloma and aplastic anemia can impair the bone marrow's ability to produce adequate leukocytes. Similarly, autoimmune diseases like lupus and viral infections such as HIV can prompt the immune system...
