Multiple gene deletions within the human immunoglobulin heavy-chain cluster.
Two subjects, of 11,000 healthy individuals screened, were found to be missing three and four immunoglobulin isotypes, respectively (IgA1, IgG2, and IgG4; IgA1, IgG2, IgG4, and IgE), and have been analyzed at the DNA level by means of Southern blotting and Ig heavy-chain-specific probes. A broad deletion within the heavy-chain constant region (C) gene cluster was found on chromosome 14 of both ...
متن کاملHuman immunoglobulin constant heavy G chain ( IGHG
The distinguished alternative GM allotypes localized in immunoglobulin constant heavy G chains, IGHG (Fc) (GM) genes on chromosome 14q32.3 define two unique variants of respectively IgG3, IgG1 and IgG2 subclass, with different structures and functions. The IGHG allele (allotypes), expressed in homozygous or heterozygous forms, are assessed by new serological methods. Fixed combinations of 3, ...
متن کاملSubmicroscopic Deletions of Immunoglobulin Heavy Chain Gene (IGH) in Precursor B Lymphoblastic Leukemia with IGH Rearrangements
Translocations leading to fusions between the immunoglobulin heavy chain gene (IGH) and various partner genes have been reported in B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). However, submicroscopic deletions within IGH in B-ALL have not been rigorously assessed. In this study, we investigated characteristics of IGH submicroscopic deletions, by FISH, in B-ALL with IGH rearrangements...
متن کاملUnusual deletions within the immunoglobulin heavy-chain locus in acute leukemias.
We have investigated the structure of the Ig heavy (IGH) chain locus in 309 cases of acute leukemia. Seventy-one cases of B-cell precursor (BCP) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) were analyzed: in six cases deletion of joining (JH) segments in the presence of cytogenetically normal chromosome 14 was observed. Similar deletions were seen in 1 out of 8 cases of biphenotypic acute leukemia analyz...
متن کاملImmunoglobulin heavy-chain-associated amyloidosis.
Immunoglobulin- or multiple myeloma-associated amyloidosis has been distinguished by the tissue deposition of Congophilic, fibrillar protein consisting of light chains or light-chain fragments (AL amyloidosis). We now report the isolation and characterization of another form of immunoglobulin-associated amyloid obtained from a patient who had extensive systemic amyloidosis and in whom the amylo...
