Cytogenetic specimens were obtained from blood or bone marrow in 27 patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia, including 4 with the microgranular variant. A 15;17 translocation was identified in 21-100% of metaphase cells from all 27 patients. The structural rearrangement was identical in every case, and the breakpoints were assigned to 15q22 and 17q21.1. Twelve patients had complete remission, and 2 (both with the microgranular variant) have had unmaintained continuous remission > 4 yr. The 15;17 translocation may be found in every patient with acute promyelocytic leukemia if optimal chromosome analysis is performed.
