Two cases of acute myeloid leukaemia with trisomy 8 in all examined bone marrow cells are reported. The occurrence and the prognostic significance of trisomy C in myeloproliferative disorders are discussed. The published reports of myeloproliferative disorders with chromosomal abnormalities identified by the banding technique are reviewed. It is to be noted that among group C anomalies in the acute myeloid leukaemias, only involvement of chromosome no. 7, 8 and 9 have been reported so far.
