RESUMO
We report here two cases of trisomy 13 in acute myeloid leukemia M1 subtype. short-term unstimulated bone marrow and peripheral blood lymphocyte culture showed 47, XY, +13 in all metaphase plates and trisomy 13 was confirmed with whole chromosome paint probes. Trisomy 13 in AML-M1 is a rare numerical abnormality. This is the first Indian report of sole trisomy 13 in AML-M1. Here, we present two cases of elder male patients, which may constitute a distinct subtype.

t(8;21)(q22;q22) is the most frequently observed karyotypic abnormality associated with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), specifically in FAB-M2. Short-term unstimulated bone marrow (BM) and peripheral blood lymphocyte culture showed 47,XX, +4,t(8;21) in all metaphase plates; and interphase and metaphase results of AML-ETO fusion was positive and trisomy of 4 was confirmed with WCP probes. Trisomy 4 in AML with t(8;21) is a rare numerical abnormality. Here we present such case of patient which may constitute a distinctive subtype.
RESUMO
We present here the first case of constitutional tetrasomy 18p from India. A 3 year old female with developmental delay and dysmorphic features revealed 47,XX,+mar karyotype. The small meta-centric marker chromosome was identified as i(18p) with m-FISH followed by m-BAND. Parents and a normal sibling of the proband revealed normal karyotype. There was history of mental retardation and dysmorphic features in four cases on paternal side; however, their karyotype was also normal.
