Chromosome aberrations

Hi Debbie,
Here is a link to a table with different kinds of chromosome aberrations. The report is from 2007 and the patients were examinated before 2005. That means that the survival times are too low because today we have much better supportive care and treatment with Vidaza, Dacogen, Revlimid, Epival and so on.

I for example have one aberration on chromosome 12 called -12p that is a so called "good aberration" especially when it is the only aberration but I have another aberration too called -X that is not so good but not so bad.
