Early Detection of t(8;21) Chromosomal Translocations during Treatment of Positive Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia: A Case Study
Here we describe a female patient who developed acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) characterized by t(l5;17) translocation at diagnosis. The patient began treatment with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) + chemotherapy. During follow up, the patient was found to be negative for the t(15;17) transcript...
