Summary

A combined method (CM) for identifying leukemic cell morphology, karyotype, and immunophenotype was evaluated. This approach is feasible for detecting evident numerical or structural chromosomal abnormalities in acute leukemia.

Area of Science:

  • Hematology
  • Cytogenetics
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Accurate diagnosis of acute leukemia relies on integrating morphology, immunophenotype, and cytogenetics.
  • Simultaneous analysis of these parameters can improve diagnostic efficiency and patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a combined method (CM) for simultaneous identification of leukemic cell morphology, karyotype, and immunophenotype.
  • To assess the feasibility and utility of CM in diagnosing acute leukemia and CML in blast crisis.

Main Methods:

  • A combined method (CM) was developed using cytospin preparation and APAAP immunophenotyping on samples from direct method or cultures.
  • Conventional karyotyping techniques were applied to bone marrow samples.
  • Monoclonal antibodies (MoAb) were used for immunophenotyping, consistent with diagnostic procedures.

Main Results:

  • The CM was evaluated in 22 patients (21 acute leukemia, 1 CML in blast crisis).
  • In 14 cases, metaphases were positive for MoAb, with 4 cases showing defined origins of abnormal cells.
  • Minimal abnormalities were not detected by CM, and some abnormal karyotypes were only found in specific cultures (GM-CSF).

Conclusions:

  • The combined method (CM) is feasible for diagnosing acute leukemia when evident numerical or structural chromosomal abnormalities are present.
  • CM allows for the simultaneous assessment of morphology, immunophenotype, and karyotype, aiding in the characterization of leukemic cells.
  • Further optimization may be needed to detect minimal or subtle chromosomal abnormalities.
