Introduction
The Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome or Philadelphia translocation refers to a chromosomal abnormality resulting from a reciprocal translocation between chromosome 9 and 22. This is described by the genetic molecular shorthand t(9;22)(q34;q11).
The translocation is associated with the disease chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML).
