“…In keeping with the multistep hypothesis of malignant transformation, a constitutional translocation by itself is in general not causative in hematologic disorder but probably plays a role in the neoplastic process. 37 In summary, our data show that pediatric t-MN may frequently be caused by the development of unbalanced chromosomal abnormalities. As a retrospective observational study on the rare and highly malignant neoplasm, our study is limited in that not all patients underwent genetic tests.…”

“…It is unclear if the constitutional t(X;9)(p22;q34) represented a random event or was associated with leukemia in the patient. In keeping with the multistep hypothesis of malignant transformation, a constitutional translocation by itself is in general not causative in hematologic disorder but probably plays a role in the neoplastic process 37…”

“…These results suggest that persons with constitutional chromosomal abnormalities do not have an increased risk of hematologic malignancy. However, there are some reports of constitutional translocations with breakpoints similar to leukemia-associated specific breakpoints in hematologic malignancy [14]. Patients treated with allogeneic HSCT are not representative of the general population, as they are exposed to radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and even immune dysfunction (T cell depletion, HLA mismatch, GVHD, and immunosuppressive therapy); these are risk factors for acquiring genetic mutations.…”

“…It is important to note that Klinefelter syndrome affects males, while triple syndrome affects females [49]. Acquired chromosomal abnormalities affect the person throughout life and are usually limited to a specific type of tissue [50]. For example, a person may suffer from CML, which can occur between the ages of 40 and 60, but rarely in young people.…”
