The configuration of immunoglobulin (Ig) and T-cell receptor (TCR) genes was investigated in a case of atypical chronic myeloid leukemia (aCML) lacking a cytogenetically detectable Philadelphia chromosome and molecular evidence of breakpoint cluster region (bcr) rearrangement as determined by 5' and 3' bcr gene probes.
The demonstration of cross-lineage rearrangement of both Ig and TCR genes lends support to evidence from G6PD alloenzyme studies that the target of transformation in aCML is an early stem cell not yet irreversibly committed to myeloid differentiation.

In a series of 11 patients with a diagnosis of aCML according to the FAB proposals we have analyzed the most relevant clinical, hematological and cytogenetic characteristics.
H4(D10S170), a gene frequently rearranged in papillary thyroid carcinoma, is fused to the platelet-derived growth factor receptor beta gene in atypical chronic myeloid leukemia with t(5;10)(q33;q22).

A 58-year-old man with a 4-month history of atypical chronic myeloid leukemia (aCML), treated with INF-alpha and hydroxyurea, presented with severe localized bone pain with involvement of upper limbs on July 17, 2000.
Two cases of atypical chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) carrying the t(4;22)(q12;q11) translocation involving the breakpoint cluster region (BCR) and platelet-derived growth factor alpha receptor (PDGFRA) genes have been recently characterized.
