• Short Arm

  Earlier observations have linked bone marrow basophilia either to a deletion of the short arm of chromosome 12 (p11-13), to translocations involving the long arm of chomosome 6 at 6q23 or to the translocation t(6,9); (p23;q34). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  It corresponds to shortened chromosome 22 resulting from reciprocal translocation between long arm of chromosome 9 and short arm of chromosome 22, which is designated as t(9;22)(q34;q11). [neoplasm.imedpub.com]

• Bilateral Proptosis

  This 7-month-old male infant presented with irritability and bilateral proptosis of 3 weeks duration. Examination revealed an irritable infant with anemia and bilateral proptosis. The tip of spleen was palpable. [ijpmonline.org]

• Suggestibility

  This interpretation is supported by the coagulation studies, which suggested release of heparin from the blast granules. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  The blasts often had basophil-like dark coarse granules, and basophils had characteristic confluent vacuoles merged with the cell membrane suggestive of degranulation (panel B). Blasts were toluidine blue metachromatic but myeloperoxidase −. [bloodjournal.org]

• Karyotype Abnormal

  Numerous karyotypic abnormalities have been reported in ABL, like normal karyotype, translocation t(X; 6) (p11; q23), monosomy 7 and trisomy 8. [2], [3], [4] Though no cytogenetic abnormality is characteristic of ABL, cytogenetic and molecular studies [ijpmonline.org]
