Dic(4;17)(p11;p11): A new recurrent chromosomal abnormality in chronic B lymphoid disorders
GENES CHROMOSOMES & CANCER(1996)
摘要
We describe a new nonrandom rearrangement, dic(4;17)(p11;p11), which was identified in three patients with small lymphocytic lymphoma/chronic lymphocytic leukemia (SLL/CLL). All three cases had in common atypical morphological features with a significant component of prolymphocytes, an unusual clinical outcome, and were refractory to chemotherapy. To further define the cytogenetic breakpoints, we investigated the cases by whole chromosome painting and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with centromeric probes. FISH analysis detected the same cytogenetic rearrangement in all patients, suggesting that the dic(4;17)(p11;p11) is a recurrent translocation in SLL/CLL Moreover, FISH analysis showed a monoallelic deletion of the TP53 gene in all cases, suggesting a correlation with the aggressive course of the disease and the clinical outcome observed in these patients.
