A Unique Constitutional Robertsonian Translocation t(13;14) Associated with Severe Aplastic Anaemia

Aplastic anaemia is characterised by cytopenias and hypocellular bone marrow without any evidence of marrow fibrosis or marrow infiltration. There is no specific cytogenetic abnormality associated with aplastic anaemia. Most common abnormalities are trisomies of chromosome 6, 8 and loss of 7. A 17...
