It is tempting to speculate that in the absence of signals required for differentiation of the granulocytic lineages, the monocytic lineage is the default route of differentiation for the myeloblast. Thus, the gain of extra chromosome 8's may cause a block in the differentiation route of granulocytes, skewing cells towards a default myelomonocytic pathway.
