TL;DR: Interphase FISH, by which chromosomal aneuploidy was detected in almost 90% of patients with MM, represents an approach for evaluating the clinical significance of specific chromosomal abnormalities in MM.

TL;DR: These data cannot provide evidence for the new WHO proposal for myelodysplastic syndromes classification and should not be adopted for routine clinical use at present, but can provide a starting point for further studies involving refined cytogenetics and clinical results.

TL;DR: Cytogenetic scores significantly improved the prognostic value of the best clinical/morphological score in regard to both overall survival and preleukaemic duration, and further stress the importance of cytogenetics for predicting prognosis in MDS.

TL;DR: The findings underline that Burkitt's, cb, ib, and blastoid mantle-cell lymphoma are biologically distinct and clinically relevant entities and that cytogenetic findings can be helpful to subtype BBCL.

TL;DR: The expected correlations of rather immature myeloid immunologic phenotypes with M1 and M2 morphology and CD14 expression in monoblastic leukemias was found and remission rate and survival were significantly worse in 19 patients with complex nonrandom aberrations, where blast cell expression of blood group H antigen and of TdT were significantly increased.
