A Rare der(Y)t(Y;1)(q12;q12) in a Patient with Essential Thrombocythemia

ABSTRACT

Among hematologic diseases, structural abnormalities of autosomal chromosomes are well-known, but cases involving the sex chromosomes are uncommon. Duplications of the long arm of chromosome 1 have been reported in several hematologic diseases including myelodysplastic syndrome, myeloproliferative neoplasms, acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and Burkitt lymphoma. However, dup(1q) as a der(Y)t(Y;1)(q12;q12) is very rare. Here, we report a case of essential thrombocythemia harboring der(Y)t(Y;1)(q12;q12) with literature review.
