Two patients, one each with abnormal chromosome 5 or 7, are counted only in the balanced rearrangement category because of t(3;21) or inv(16). Patients with abnormalities of 5, 7, or both plus other abnormalities except balanced rearrangement are counted only in the abnormal chromosome 5, 7, or both categories.

*

P < .0001 as measured by Fisher exact test for comparison of the 3 major categories of no malignancy, hematologic malignancy, and solid tumor (3 × 6 contingency table).

P = .19.
