Cancer Genet Cytogenet. 1993 Apr;66(2):126-7. doi: 10.1016/0165-4608(93)90241-d.

Abstract

We report a case of acute myeloid leukemia (M5a of the FAB classification), secondary to the myelodysplastic syndrome, showing a deletion of the short arm of chromosome 2 at p23 in the bone marrow cells. In addition, a duplication of chromosome 13,dup(13)(q12q14) was found.
