Two patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia and new variant Philadelphia chromosome translocations are reported. In one case, a 41-year-old male, a 10;22 translocation was found in all bone marrow cells examined. Furthermore, the Y chromosome was missing in 90% of the analyzed metaphase cells. In the second patient, a 22-year-old male, all the marrow cells contained a complex rearrangement involving chromosomes No. 2, 9 and 22.
