Popis: Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) is a clonal haematological disease characterised by t(9;22)(q34;q11) which is called Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome. Highly improved haematological and cytogenetic results were obtained in chronic phase CML with the introduction of imatinib. Occurrence of additional cytogenetic abnormalities in Ph(+) cells is defined as clonal evolution (CE) and considered to be a preceding sign for acceleration. The most common additional chromosomal changes are +8, +Ph, i(17q), +19, -Y, +21, +17 and-7. The aims of this study were to delineate the occurrence pattern of cytogenetic clonal evolution in our cohort of CML patients and to investigate the impact on the course and prognosis of CML. Additional clonal chromosomal changes in Ph(+) cells were observed in 20 cases (19%). The abnormalities seen were monosomy 21 (%35), -17 (%30), -19 and +8 in (%25), -7, -8, -13, -15, -22, +Ph, and different marker chromosomes (%20), -Y, -12, -14, -16, -20 (%15), +Y, -10, -18 (%10), and -X, -3, -9...
