Abstract: | Specimens of chromosomes were made from biopsical lymph modes from 40 patients with lymphatic diseases. Mitotic cells that could be used for analysis were found in 36 cases.We noticed that changes in chromosomes were very complicated and that the numerical and structural aberrations were remarkable and involved chromosomes 6, 14,8,3,11, 18, 1 and 13. Patients with malignant lymphoma(ML) had 6q-,14q+,t(11;14),t (8; 14),t(14; 18),del(1)(p13-ter) and 13q+ markers. Our data showed that structural aberrations in 14q32 were associated with ML and aberrations in 1p13 and 13q33 were associated with Hodgkin's disease(HD). Chromosome aberrations are correlated to some extent with the typing of ML. |
