chromosomal rearrangements were performed by using RTPCR and nested PCR system with translocation specific
primers in 43 hematological malignancy patients.

DISCUSSION
Diagnoses of leukemias have been improved by classical
karyotyping, FISH and PCR analysis (3). As numerical
chromosomal aberrations and unknown balanced alterations
are detectable solely by cytogenetic analysis; this type of
conventional methods form an important platform for
molecular characterization of genetic aberrations.
