|September 1, 1993
Abstract:
A case of acute myeloid leukemia (M4) in a 29-year-old male with a 47,XYY karyotype is reported. This aneuploidy was found in both bone marrow cells and mitogen-stimulated lymphocytes. Monosomy 7 correlated with myelodysplastic features. The possible role of XYY in increasing the risk of leukemia is discussed.
