Discusses that in order to characterize the karyotype more precisely, analysis of 18 samples from patients with myeloid malignancies and a complex karyotype was done. Three different techniques that were used to characterize the karyotype; Experiments that were performedon the cases that had complex makers or non-obvious chromosome rearrangements; Use of spectral karyotyping.
