Our previous studies demonstrated that single nucleotide polymorphism arrays (SNP-A), applied as a karyotyping platform, complement traditional metaphase cytogenetics (MC) and improve the diagnostic yield of cytogenetic studies because SNP-A can more precisely resolve smaller genetic defects and allow for detection of copy number-neutral loss of heterozygosity (CN-LOH), a defect frequently found in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Like balanced translocations, CN-LOH represents a chromosomal abnormality that occurs without a concurrent change in gene copy number (CN). CN-LOH is an increasingly recognized chromosomal mechanism by which homozygous somatic mutations may be acquired during evolution of hematologic malignancies and can pinpoint the location of such gene(s); examples include CEBPA, FLT3, WT1, RUNX1, JAK2, and NF11.
TP53 Mutations in Myeloid Malignancies are either Homozygous or Hemizygous due to Copy Number-Neutral Loss of Heterozygosity or Deletion of 17p
