Abstract

With a constant region probe (c-lambda) from the immunoglobulin light chain gene cluster, we performed in situ hybridization to bone marrow chromosome preparations from a patient with a Ph-positive form of acute lymphocytic leukemia. Results in this patient indicate that the immunoglobulin chain genes were involved in the 9;22 chromosome rearrangement.
