amkjud,
My wife was found to have chromosomal abnormalities, then
different chromosomal abnormalities in a subsequent bone marrow biopsy. At the time we thought of it as "unstable marrow" but I think it was more a matter of which defective cells they happened to collect in the bone marrow aspiration. An abnormality that seems to disappear may be one that has affected very few cells and is therefore unlikely to show up in a given BMB.
