Time from treatment with Topo II inhibitors is given in parentheses. Topo II inhibitors are indicated by boldface type.

Patient no. 70 in Pedersen-Bjergaard and Philip.12 

Results of FISH analysis: patient no. 8: two normal chromosomes 21 were labeled in each cell examined; the +der(21) was not labeled by AML21 probes; however, FISH with a painting probe confirmed that the derivative gained was from chromosome 21. Patient no. 9: Only one normal chromosome 21 was labeled by AML21 probes; the der(21) was not labeled, indicating a loss of 21q22 sequences.
