Refractory anaemia with excess of blasts (RAEB): analysis of reclassification according to the WHO proposals.

abstract：:Three patients with an acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) showed a deletion of the short arm of chromosome 7 with loss of the deleted material. The 7p- anomaly originated from either a terminal or an interstitial deletion and it represented the only karyotypic aberration in all the three cases. According to the clinical, m...
