74
CML name
chronic myelogenous leukemia | chronic granulocytic leukemia
75
CML characteristic
Ph1 | Philadelphia chromosome
76
how many percent of patients with CML have Ph1 chromosome?
90%
77
in a normal individual, where are ABL and BCR gene found respectively?
ABL - long arm of chromosome 9 | BCR - long arm of chromosome 22
78
in patients with CML, what happens to his/her chromosome 9 and 22?
long arm of C9 with ABL gene translocates with BCR gene in long arm of C22 therefore producing BCR-ABL fusion gene in long arm of C22/ Philadelphia chromosome
79
what gene causes CML and where it is found?
BCR-ABL fusion gene in the long arm of chromosome 22
80
clinical syndrome resembling leukemia
leukemoid reaction
81
test to distinguish leukemoid reaction vs CML
leukocyte (neutrophil) alkaline phosphatase test | LAP/NAP
82
LAP/NAP test principle
increased LAP activity can be observed in NORMAL neutrophils
83
only leukocyte that has alkaline phosphatase activity
neutrophil
84
method used for LAP/NAP staining
kaplow's method
85
normal LAP score
20-100
86
conditions with increased LAP score (4)
3rd trimester of pregnancy polycythemia vera infections intoxication all of these are characterized by leukemoid reaction
87
