Article Synopsis
  • The most common genetic issue in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients is a deletion at chromosome band 13q14, which can vary in size and impact prognosis, particularly if it includes the larger associated gene deletions.
  • A specific CLL case showed a chromosomal translocation (t(12;13)) along with a deletion affecting both crucial genes in the 13q14 region, indicating a level of genomic instability.
  • Genomic instability in this patient was evidenced by various cytogenetic abnormalities, including chromosomal breaks and telomere shortening, suggesting a complex interaction between the deletions and the stability of the genome.

Intron-22 (Inv22) and intron-1 (Inv1) inversions account for approximately one half of all severe cases of hemophilia A (SHA) worldwide. Inhibitor development against exogenous factor VIII (FVIII) represents a major complication in HA. The causative F8 mutation is considered the most decisive factor conditioning inhibitor development.

Introducction: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a clonal disease characterized by a proliferation of immature cells. In immunophenotypic, cytogenetic and molecular studies, it is a heterogeneous disease with diverse manifestations and prognoses. The treatment is complex and is associated with complications during its course.

Background: Chronic myeloid leukemia represents 15 % of all the leukemias in adults. With the introduction of tyrosine kinase inhibitors, overall survival at 10 years is 80-90 %. The objective was to describe the epidemiology, complete cytogenetic response and major molecular response with tyrosine kinase inhibitors in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia.

Hemophilia A (HA) is one of the most common inherited bleeding disorders caused by FVIII gene mutations. Inversion of intron 22 (inv22) originates 50% of cases of severe HA and is a major risk factor for inhibitor development. Inversion of intron 1 (inv1) has been reported to occur in 2-3% of severe HA patients.
