Two sisters in whom a diagnosis of Fanconi's anemia was made at ages 12 and
18 subsequently developed acute nonlymphocytic leukemia (ANLL). A third
sibling had previously died at age 11 of apparent sepsis. Both sisters had
cytogenetic studies that showed increased chromosomal breakage and a 46,XX
karyotype, but subsequently developed ANLL after, or coincident with, the
emergence of monosomy 7. These observations suggest that, in addition to
myelodysplastic syndromes and defective neutrophil chemotaxis, monosomy 7
may be associated with the emergence of leukemia in this disorder.
