Abstract
Two hematologic cases with translocations involving chromosomes #3 and #12 are described. The first case is that of a myeloproliferative disorder (preleukemia?) associated with a (3;12)(q29;q24) translocation in the bone marrow cells. No evidence of leukemic transformation has appeared to date. The second case is that of acute leukemia (AL) (M4 type) in which leukemic cells with t(3;12)(p14;q24) were seen. The roles of chromosomes #3 and #12 in hematopoiesis are considered, and the abnormalities affecting these chromosomes in various hematologic disorders have been tabulated and correlated. Abnormalities in chromosomes #3 and #12 appear to be common and nonrandom in hematologic diseases of a premalignant and a malignant type.
