Summary
A patient with chronic myelocytic leukaemia (CML) had the Philadelphia chromosome from the standard 9/22 translocation, a partial trisomy 1 secondary to an unbalanced 1/17 translocation, and a more recent clone with the addition of trisomy 22. This is the third case of partial trisomy 1 associated with the Philadelphia chromosome. Trisomy 1 in haematological disorders is discussed with reference to its clinical significance in CML, the segment of chromosome no. 1 involved, and the mechanisms of origin of the partial trisomies. Anomalies of chromosome 1, although not specific to any of them, seem to be important in the development of myeloproliferative disorders and of neoplasms in general.
