Loss of X.Y chromosome There is a correlation between t (8;21) and involvement of sex chromosomes (X, Y chromosomes) - Involvement of sex chromosome occur in cases with t (8;21) that may be either in the .form of loss of X chromosome or duplication of Y chromosome. - Loss of the Y chromosome or loss of the X chromosome is associated with t (8;21) in 80% to 90% cases. - But the significance of these abnormalities on prognosis is not clear. Most probably they have ourable prognosis just as t(8;21).
