Bone marrow cytogenetic abnormalities of aplastic anemia.
American Journal of Hematology 2001 March
Cytogenetic abnormalities in association with aplastic anemia have been reported fairly infrequently. Clonal cytogenetic abnormalities at initial diagnosis are uncommon. A retrospective study was performed of the cytogenetic findings in patients with typical morphological and clinical features of severe aplastic anemia from a single institution for the years 1988 through 1998. A total of 30 cases of aplastic anemia, 16 men and 14 women, were identified. The median age was 60 with females being significantly older (67.5 years) in comparison to males (44 years). Bone marrow specimens failed to yield metaphases in 16 cases and normal karyotypes were detected in 11 cases. Cytogenetic abnormalities were detected in 3 cases. Clonal abnormalities, as defined, occurred in only 2 cases (6.7%). A review of the literature identified a total of 24 cases of aplastic anemia with abnormal cytogenetic findings. Overall, the most common chromosome abnormalities are trisomies of 6 and 8 and loss of chromosome 7. Trisomy 6 is more common at diagnosis while loss of chromosome 7 is more common after therapy.
