The results of interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization are given as percentages of 200 sorted bone marrow cells.

BM indicates bone marrow; SP, side population; PB, peripheral blood.

Nine patients had fewer than 200 analyzable nuclei as follows: patient 1 non-SP (187 cells), patient 2 non-SP (12 cells), patient 3 SP (68 cells), patient 11 SP (30 cells), patient 12 SP (40 cells), patient 13 SP (138 cells)/non-SP (113 cells); patient 14 SP (136 cells); patient 7b SP (110 cells)/non-SP (173 cells) patient 15 non-SP (179 cells).

At initial diagnosis, the acute myeloid leukemia in case 7 was characterized by monosomy 7 and trisomy 8.
