Geographic Heterogeneity of Cytogenetic Characteristics of Acute Myeloid Leukemia in the early detection: A Comparative Study of Iranian and Indian adult Patients

Abstract

Background: Acute Meyloid Leukemia (AML) in adults is known to be a heterogeneous disease with diverse chromosome abnormalities. Some of these chromosome abnormalities are found with a high incidence in populations from specific geographical areas and ethnic societies. Therefore, we studied the cytogenetic features of AML cases in contrasting societies of Iran and India.
