Popis: The cytogenetic, histologic, and pertinent clinical data on 107 cases of CML from our laboratory and those from the literature on the incidence of Ph1-negative cells in marrows of patients with Ph1-positive CML have been collected and summarized. In addition, the distribution of multiple Ph1-chromosomes in 5 cases of CML, with and without the blastic phase, has been described and discussed. The findings served as a basis for caution in utilizing the high incidence of Ph1-positive cells in the marrows of the preponderant number of patients with CML as support for the unicellular stem cell origin of such cells. The occurrence of Ph1-negative cells in significant percentages in some patients with chronic myelocytic leukemia indicates that several other hypotheses, including a multi-stem cell origin of marrow cells, are compatible with the observations in CML.
