5例伴有t(16;21)(p11;q22)急性白血病的临床和实验研究

目的：报告5例伴有t(16;21)(p11;q22)的急性白血病和其中1例的染色体涂染分析。方法：骨髓细胞24h培养后按常规方法制备染色体，采用R显带技术进行染色体核型分析，并以16号和21号整条染色体涂染探针对其中1例患者进行染色体涂染检测。结果：5例均显示t(16;21)(p11;q22),占15年来进行染色体检查的急性非淋巴细胞白血病患者总数的0．3％（5／1448）。5例均无白血病细胞吞噬其他血细胞现象。1例患者的染色体涂染分析证实了16号和21号染色体之间发生了相互易位。结论：t(16;21)是急性非淋巴细胞白血病中1种少见的非随机的染色体易位，代表了1种独特的白血病亚型。染色体涂染技术是比常规核型分析更为可靠的检测该易位的手段。

Clinical and experimental studies on five cases of acute myeloid leukemia with translocation t(16;21)(p11;q22)

Objective To report five cases of acute myeloid leukemia(AML) with t(16;21)(p11;q22) translocation and the result of chromosome painting analysis on one of them.Methods Chromosome specimens were prepared by short term culture of bone marrow cells. Karyotype analysis was made by R banding technique. Chromosome painting was performed using whole chromosome probes 16 and 21 in 1 case.Results Karyotype analysis showed identical translocation t(16;21)(p11;q22) in all five cases, accounting for 0.3% of 1448 cases of acute myeoid leukemia examined in the past fifteen years. Moreover, chromosome painting distinctly demonstrated t(16;21) in one of them. Leukemia blasts did not show hemophagocytosis in all of them.Conclusion t(16;21) translocation is a rare and recurring chromosome rearrangement. It represents a specific type of AML. Chromosome painting technique is a more reliable means for detecting it, compared with the conventional karyotype analysis.
