Abstract

The data on Philadelphia chromosome detection in patients with CML and ALL are presented. Two approaches were applied: .5' and 3' bcr genomic probes were used; two steps PCR with specific primers was employed. The latter is more preferable for clinic use. Some issues of Ph' leukemias etiology are also discussed.
