- Abstract:
- Structural rearrangements of the long arm of chromosome 3 involving bands 3q21 and 3q26 and leading either to a paracentric inversion inv (3)(q21q26) or a translocation between both homologous chromosomes--t(3;3)(q21q26)-- have been reported in patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndromes, myeloproliferative disorders, and chronic myelogenous leukemia in blast crisis. We describe three patients with de novo AML with these structural abnormalities who received multiple courses of conventional chemotherapy followed by unrelated donor (n=2) and autologous (n = 1) bone marrow transplantation (BMT). All three patients had early relapse: patients 1 and 2 had relapse 69 days and 306 days after BMT, respectively, and patient 3 immediately after autologous BMT. Despite further chemotherapy, they died without achieving another remission. These findings, together with other recorded similar cases, show that AML with structural abnormalities of the long arm of chromosome 3 as described has an extremely poor prognosis even with the most potent anti-leukemic treatment modalities.
