Myeloproliferative disorder in a t(13q14q) carrier
Abstract:
A Robertsonian balanced translocation of two D chromosomes was found in the bone marrow cytogenetic studies of a 70-year-old myeloproliferative disorder (MPD) woman. G-banding studies showed the translocation involved a 13q14q. An identical balanced t(13q14q) chromosomal pattern was found in her peripheral blood 3 years before the diagnosis of MPD as part of an investigation involving her daughter's reproductive difficulties. Her daughter is also a t(13q14q) balanced translocation carrier. The finding of a t(13q14q) in MPD may be coincidental or it may be predisposing to the development of MPD. Additional studies may elucidate this controversy.

Disorders of Leukocytes
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...
