Figure 1: Karyotype of K562 cells The K562 karyotype exhibits tetraploidy in chromosomes 1, 4, 7 and 16. Triploid chromosomes included 2, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, and 18. Partial additions occur on chromosomes 1, 3, 8, 22, and X while the only deletion occurs on chromosomes 20. Partial deletions are exhibited on chromosomes 21 and 22. The t(9:22) is apparent, however, it differs from typical t(9; 22) translocations in appearance. |
