Leukemia. 1990 Jun;4(6):423-5.
We report two occurrences of dic(9;12) in acute lymphoblastic leukemia and review previous cases. Cases of dic(9;12) share common features with cases of 9p and 12p rearrangements, but prognosis seems particularly good in cases of dic(9;12). The persistence of a specific dicentric in stable clones is remarkable and points to unusual centromeric behavior and/or marked selective advantage of the anomaly.
