A rare chronic myeloid leukemia case with Philadelphia chromosome, BCR-ABL e13a3 transcript and complex translocation involving four different chromosomes.
TL;DR: Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction products showed the presence of BCR-ABL fusion transcript e13a3, and this signifies the major BCR breakpoint.
Influence of CYP1A1, GST polymorphisms and susceptibility risk of chronic myeloid leukemia in Syrian population.
TL;DR: Logistic regression analyses showed significant risk of CML associated with CYP1A1 Val allele, suggesting that the association of the GSTM1 null genotype, either alone or in combination with GSTT1 null, with CyP1AI heterozygous leads to the CML risk.

Cytogenetic abnormalities and Y-chromosome microdeletions in infertile Syrian males
TL;DR: The higher frequency of AZF deletions in this study was comparable with frequencies in other countries and regions of the world, possibly due to the elevated number of the sequence-tagged site (STS) markers used for this screening.

Correlation of p210 BCR-ABL transcript variants with clinical, parameters and disease outcome in 45 chronic myeloid leukemia patients.
TL;DR: The distribution BCR-ABL1 transcript types found in Syria were similar to that of Indian Far-Eastern, African or European populations and the M-BCR rearrangement types were not dependent on white blood count, platelet count, hemoglobin level or gender of the patients.

A new t(9;11;20;22)(q34;p11.2;q11.21;q11) in a Philadelphia-positive chronic myeloid leukemia case.
TL;DR: A CML case with complex chromosomal aberrations not previously observed was evaluated and a four-chromosome translocation involving chromosomal regions including 11p11.2 and 20q11.21 was characterized in detail using array-proven multicolor banding (aMCB), a technique which has proven to be of significance in characterizing breakpoint regions in detail.
