Bloom syndrome (BS) predisposes affected individuals to a wide variety of neoplasms including hematological malignancies. Thus far, cytogenetic findings in hematological neoplasms have been reported in only a few BS patients. We present the karyotypic findings in a BS patient diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), FAB subtype M1, and a review of the literature, showing the preferential occurrence of total or partial loss of chromosome 7 in BS patients with AML or myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS).
布卢姆综合征(BS)使受影响个体易患多种肿瘤,包括血液系统恶性肿瘤。迄今为止,仅在少数BS患者中报道了血液系统肿瘤的细胞遗传学发现。我们报告了一例被诊断为急性髓系白血病(AML)、FAB亚型M1的BS患者的核型分析结果,并对文献进行了综述,结果显示在患有AML或骨髓增生异常综合征(MDS)的BS患者中,7号染色体全部或部分缺失的情况较为常见。
