Sorry, I wasn't very clear except in my own mind...happens to me a lot. I'll just copy and paste from the reports for clarification.
Here's the exact wording from the cytogenetic BM:
BONE MARROW CULTURES
Ph+ clone
46,XX,t(9;22)(q34;q11.2)[2]
2 metaphases photographed/karyotyped
Ph+ metaphase
47,XX,+8,t(9;22)(q34;q11.2)[1]
1 metaphase photographed/karyotyped
Diploid female karyotype 46,XX[17]
2 metaphases photographed/karyotyped
Interpretation (BM)
Three abnormal and seventeen normal female metaphases are analyzed. The
previously reported Ph+ clone continues to be present in the bone marrow
indicating persistent disease.
Then here's the Fish:
ADD FISH BM DIAGNOSIS CML
Summary (BM)
BONE MARROW CULTURES
FLUORESCENCE IN SITU HYBRIDIZATION (FISH)
nuc ish(D8Z2x2)[179]
2 interphases photographed
nuc ish(D8Z2x3)[21]
2 interphases photographed
Interpretation (BM)
THIS IS A POSITIVE RESULT FOR THE PRESENCE OF A CLONE WITH TRISOMY 8.
The in-situ hybridization (ish) technique was performed using an alpha-
satellite (D8Z2) CEP8 probe from Abbott Molecular, Inc. A total of 200
interphases were analyzed yielding two signals in 179 interphases and
three signals in 21 interphases. These findings suggest that 10.5% of the
cells studied exhibit trisomy 8.
So maybe now you can tell me in simple terms what this means. Thanks Trey!
