BackgroundThe t(8;14)(q24.1;q32) and its variants – the t(2;8)(p12;q24.1) and t(8;22)(q24.1;q11.2) are associated with B-cell neoplasia and result in MYC/immunoglobulin (IG) gene rearrangement.Patients and methodsWe correlated the cytogenetic, molecular and clinico-pathological findings of patients with 8q24 translocations seen in the Department of Haematology, Christian Medical College, Vellore, from January 2003 to December 2015.ResultsThere were 34 patients with 8q24 translocations (31, ALL and three myeloma). The t(8;14) was seen in 25 patients, t(8;22) in seven and t(2;8) in two. The salient findings were as follows: 85% males; 79% adults, median age 37 years; L3 morphology in 61%; mature B immunophenotype in 77%; extra-medullary disease in 41%; additional abnormalities in 28 (85%), notably, structural abnormalities of chromosome 1q (41%) and 13q (9%) and monosomy 13 (15%); complex karyotypes in 68%.There were two double-hit lymphoma/leukemia, one with a t(14;18)(q32;q21) and the other with a t(3;14)(q27;q11.2), associated with nodal high grade B cell lymphoma and dermal leukemic infiltrates respectively.Only 13 samples were processed for DNA PCR and all these samples were positive for MYC-IgH (c-gamma type) rearrangement. Only in one patient, in addition to c-gamma, c-alpha rearrangement was also detected.ConclusionThe frequency (1.7%) and distribution of these translocations in our series and the association with 1q and 13q abnormalities is similar to the literature. Trisomies 7 and 12 were seen in less than 10% of our patients.  相似文献

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) with erythroid hypoplasia, a rare form of MDS, has not yet been clearly defined. We report here a 20-year-old woman with severe transfusion-dependent anemia and reticulocytopenia. White blood cells and platelet counts were normal. Bone marrow examination showed a low percentage of erythroid precursors (6%) and a marked dyserythropoiesis and dysmegakaryopoiesis. A diagnosis of MDS (refractory anemia according to the FAB classification) with erythroid hypoplasia was made. Cytogenetic analysis of the bone marrow and peripheral blood revealed a 46,XX,t(3;14)(p21.1;q24.1) translocation, which was confirmed by fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis. This translocation was detected in the apparently healthy younger brother, father, and aunt (father's sister) of the patient. Clonality of T cells in the patient was not confirmed by the polymerase chain reaction and heteroduplex temperature-gradient gel electrophoresis. IgM serology for B19 parvovirus was negative. Other conditions known to be associated with erythroid hypoplasia, such as thymoma, were not present. The patient failed to respond to immunosuppressive therapy (antithymocyte globulin and cyclosporin A). Administration of recombinant human erythropoietin improved her anemia. To our knowledge, this balanced translocation, namely t(3;14)(p21.1;q24.1), which is present both in the patient with MDS with erythroid hypoplasia and in the healthy members of the family, has not been defined previously.  相似文献

Since malignant melanoma is a rare malignancy in Japan, little is known about the cytogenetic abnormalities in Japanese patients. We report a case of malignant melanoma showing complex chromosomal abnormalities. A 70-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of anorexia, delirium, and right hemiplegia. Cranial CT disclosed several metastatic brain tumors. Multiple subcutaneous and intra-abdominal metastases were also found. A diagnosis of metastatic malignant melanoma was made by biopsy of a subcutaneous tumor. Chromosomal analysis of the tumor cells disclosed complex karyotypic abnormalities including novel unbalanced whole arm translocations der (8; 14) (q10; q10) and der (11; 15) (q10; q10).  相似文献

We report the case of a patient with chronic phase CML who exhibited, in the same cells, beside the Philadelphia chromosome, an additional translocation between the other chromosome 9 and one of the chromosomes 12 [t(9;12)(p13;q24.1)]. Complete cytogenetic remission with disappearance of both karyotypic abnormalities was achieved after 18 months treatment with low dose (1.4 × 106 U/m2/day) recombinant alpha-interferon and has been sustained with maintenance therapy for 68+ months (actual follow-up). Clonality at diagnosis and recovery of polyclonal hematopoiesis in complete cytogenetic remission were demonstrated using the polymorphism at the human androgen receptor gene (Humara) locus on chromosome X. The role of the additional translocation in the response to low dose alpha-interferon therapy remains hypothetical.  相似文献

The translocation (15;17) is a typical marker of acute promyelocytic leukemia, whereas t(9;22) is predominantly associated with chronic myelogenous leukemia, and seldom with acute myelogenous leukemia. Furthermore, the association between t(15;17) and t(9;22) in the same cell is extremely rare. We present a case of therapy-related acute promyelocytic leukemia (t-APL) with a subclone accompanied by karyotype 46, XX, t(9; 22)(q34;q11), t(15 ;17)(q22;11 to approximately 12) at onset. A 75-year-old woman was diagnosed as having non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the thyroid gland in July 1997. She was treated with a CHOP-like regimen, but complete remission (CR) was not achieved. She then underwent surgical resection of her thyroid gland, and was treated with etoposide (total dose 16775 mg) from February 1998 to May 2000. In June 2000, having developed t-APL, she was referred to our department. The patient attained CR following treatment with chemotherapy containing all-trans retinoic acid. Ten months later she relapsed, but lost the t(9;22), while maintaining the t(15;17).  相似文献

Two cases of Ph1-positive chronic granulocytic leukaemia with hitherto undescribed translocations are presented. In case 1 the deleted part of chromosome number 22q- was translocated to the short arm of the X chromosome, t(X;22)(p22;q11). Pronounced basophilia, trisomy 19 in the majority of metaphases, and a partial cytogenetic normalization of the bone marrow during busulphan induced remission were additional remarkable features of this case. In case 2 a translocation t(15;22)(q26;q11) was found. In this case the disease was characterized by an increase of unusually small megakaryocytes, thrombocytosis, and an accelerated course.  相似文献

A 50-year-old man presented with an ileocecal tumor and a large amount of ascites. Lymphoma cells obtained from the ascitic fluid were CD10(+), CD20(+), CD38(+), HLA-DR(+), BCL6(-), MUM1/IRF4(+), BCL2(+), and immunoglobulin μ/γ(+). The karyotype determined by G-banding and spectral karyotyping was 46, XY, der(3)t(1;3)(q12;p12), -4, +7, t(8;14)(q24;q32), t(12;14)(q24;q32), der(17)t(4;17)(q21;p11). Fluorescence in situ hybridization disclosed that 93% of interphase cells were positive for the c-MYC and immunoglobulin heavy chain gene fusion. The patient was treated with intensive chemo-immunotherapy, resulting in a complete response. The t(8;14)-t(12;14) double-hit may have generated molecular abnormalities analogous to those of a previously cloned three-way translocation t(8;12;14).  相似文献

We report a case of T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia (T-PLL) in a 41-year-old male. Classical cytogenetic, spectral karyotyping (SKY) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) studies of a blood sample obtained at diagnosis revealed the co-existence of t(X;14)(q28;q11), t(Y;14)(q12;q11) and a ring chromosome derived from i(8)(q10). Immunophenotypic studies revealed involvement of T-cell lineage, with proliferation of CD4(-) CD8+. The co-existence of two translocations involving both sex chromosomes in a case of T-PLL is rare. Chromosomal instability associated with the disease progression may have allowed the emergence of cell clones with translocations involving the sex chromosomes and the ring chromosome observed.  相似文献

We analyze the prevalence and clinical features of a group of patients with t(8;21) (q22;q22) acute myeloblastic leukemia, identified in a single institution in México over a 10-year period. Fifteen patients presented at the Centro de Hematología y Medicina Interna de Puebla from February 1995 to August 2005; only nine were treated and followed in the institution. Median age was 24 years, (range 7-49); there was only one male. According to the French-American-British (FAB) morphological classification of leukemia, the morphology was M2 in four cases, M4 in three cases, M3 in one case and M0 in one. In addition to the myeloid markers, lymphoid markers were identified in 6 patients. Patients were induced to remission with combined chemotherapy and three subsequently underwent bone marrow transplantation (BMT). The median overall and disease-free survival has not been reached, being above 3390 days, the probability of survival at this time was 73%. In this single-center experience in México, we found that the t(8;21) (q22;q22) variant of leukemia was more frequent than in Caucasian populations, that the co-expression of lymphoid markers in the blast cells is very frequent and that this malignancy is associated with a relatively good prognosis.  相似文献

A 50-year-old woman developed a subcutaneous tumor in the left lower leg. A biopsy led to the diagnosis of lymphoid malignancy. The malignant cells showed a B-cell immunophenotype. Karyotyping of the cells revealed t(14;18) and t(2;3). The patient was treated with chemotherapy, resulting in a transient response. Subsequently, tumor regrowth and bone marrow recurrence developed. Karyotyping of the bone marrow at relapse revealed a t(8;22) in addition to t(14;18) and t(2;3), which led to a diagnosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)-L3 (FAB). Although the patient was treated with several chemotherapy regimens, the disease was refractory to all the treatments. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and the nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique demonstrated rearrangements of the c-myc, bcl-2, and bcl-6 genes. ALL-L3 associated with t(14;18) is known to be complicated frequently with cerebrospinal infiltration and extramedullary lesions, and has a poor prognosis. In our case, the presence of the additional t(2;3) may have enhanced this patient's refractoriness to the treatment.  相似文献

Summary. We describe a patient with trilineage myelodysplasia and hyperplastic megakaryopoiesis associated with significant myelofibrosis at diagnosis, who developed acute myeloid leukaemia two months afterwards. The clinical and pathological features were consistent with a myelodysplasia/myelofibrosis syndrome with leukemic transformation. Cytogenetic investigation showed trisomy 14, del(20q) and t(3;3) (q21;q26). These findings are of possible significance in the understanding of the association between myelodysplasia and myelofibrosis.  相似文献

Summary Two patients with acute myeloid leukemia are described in whom G- and C-banding analysis of bone marrow cells revealed, besides the translocation t(8;21), an additional structural anomaly characterized by the deletion of bands q13 to q23 of one chromosome no. 9. Findings in the literature support the proposal that this constellation represents a hitherto unreported subtype of the prototypic karyotype in AML.Supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (SFB 102)  相似文献

A 33-year-old woman was hospitalized because of bleeding tendency. Hemoglobin was 10.7 g/dl, white blood cell 2,100/microliters and platelet 2.1 X 10(4)/microliters. Bone marrow showed marked dysplasia of trilineage blood cells. Atypical blasts and monocytoid cells accounted for 14.5% in the myelogram. Cytogenetic study of bone marrow cells revealed translocation with t(11;21) in all of 20 metaphasic cells analyzed by G-banding method. A diagnosis of RAEB was made. Familial survey revealed that her elder brother died of acute monocytic leukemia (AMoL). The patient received small dose therapy of Ara-C and BHAC-DMP therapy, but a remission was not obtained. The patient's general condition deteriorated with infection, bleeding tendency and chronic hepatitis due to transfusions, therefore we have followed up the patient with prednisolone and red blood cell transfusion. It has become evident that some types of acute leukemia with monocytic features have a cytogenetic change at 11 q 23. But it is rare that RAEB with increased monocytoid cells has a cytogenetic change at 11q23. In addition, the patient's elder brother died of AMoL. This case is important in relation to cytogenetic change at 11q23 and hematopoietic abnormalities.  相似文献
