Abstract

In situ suppression hybridization with recombinant bacteriophage DNA libraries for chromosomes 8 and 21 was performed in two cases of acute nonlymphocytic leukemia, type FAB M2. In both cases, cytogenetic analysis by conventional G-banding revealed t(8;21)(q22;q22). In situ suppression hybridization was able to prove the reciprocal nature of the translocation in both cases by identifying the terminal end of chromosome 21 translocated to the derivative chromosome 8q−.
