Abstract
In two patients with acute myeloid leukemia, we found a new chromosome abnormality: del(2)(p23) which was detected in 13% and 50% of studied bone marrow cells, respectively. In patient one, del(2p) was an additional abnormality to t(8;21), while patient two had del(2p) as the sole abnormality. Based on our observation and a review of the literature we propose that del(2p) is a new recurrent chromosome abnormality for acute myeloid leukemia.
