Figure

  • Fig. 1 Copy number variation analysis of a bone marrow specimen at relapse using the HumanCytoSNP-12 bead chip demonstrates a logR ratio of 0 and a B allele frequencies (BAF) of 85%, indicating copy number-neutral loss of heterozygosity (CN-LOH) of 6p in all clones (red box). HLA genes are located in 6p, revealing that acquired uniparental disomy was responsible for the loss of the patient-specific HLA allele. Additionally, CN-LOH of 13q12.11-q34 in all clones (a logR ratio of 0 and a BAF of 85%), and CN-LOH of 21q21.3-q22.3 in subclones (a logR ratio of 0.1 and a BAF of 75%) were detected.
