MYC Rearrangement Involving a Novel Non-immunoglobulin Chromosomal Locus in Precursor B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
نویسندگان
چکیده
MYC rearrangement, a characteristic cytogenetic abnormality of Burkitt lymphoma and several subsets of other mature B-cell neoplasms, typically involves an immunoglobulin gene partner. Herein, we describe a case of precursor B-cell lymphoblastic leukemia harboring a MYC rearrangement with a novel non-immunoglobulin partner locus. The patient was a 4-yr-old Korean boy with ALL of the precursor B-cell immunophenotype. At the time of the second relapse, cytogenetic analyses revealed t(4;8)(q31.1;q24.1) as a clonal evolution. The MYC rearrangement was confirmed by FISH analysis. He died 3 months after the second relapse without achieving complete remission. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a case of MYC rearrangement with a non-immunoglobulin partner in precursor B-cell lymphoblastic leukemia.

Primary established genetic abnormalities in B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia include high hyperdiploidy (51-65 chromosomes), the translocations t(12;21)(p13;q22)/ETV6-RUNX1 fusion and t(9;22)(q34;q11)/BCR-ABL1 fusion, MLL rearrangements and intrachromosomal amplification of chromosome 21. These rearrangements are of prognostic and therapeutic relevance and are usually mutually exc...

Mature B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or Burkitt-type ALL is a rare entity and can be defined as the leukemic manifestation of Burkitt lymphoma (BL).1 BL is a highly aggressive B-cell malignancy and can be endemic, sporadic, or associated with immunodeficiency.2,3 Sporadic BL accounts for 1-2% of all adult lymphoma in Western Europe and the United States.2 Mature B-cell ALL is charac...

Centrocytic lymphoma is a B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) composed of lymphocytes resembling cleaved follicular center cells (centrocytes). Previous studies have suggested an association between t(11;14) chromosomal translocations and bcl-1 rearrangement in centrocytic and related intermediate lymphocytic lymphomas. To further characterize the association between bcl-1 and centrocytic lymph...

Burkitt`s lymphoma (BL)/ leukemia, mature high grade B-cell neoplasms, are the most frequent subtype of non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (NHL) of childhood in western countries. Recent multicenter therapeutic studies showed that the probability of event-free survival has increased to 90% even among patients with advanced stage disease. However, the prognosis of the remaining patients who suffer a relapse...

Background: Precursor B-Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (precursor B-ALL) oc-curs due to the uncontrolled proliferation of B-lymphoid precursors arrested at a par-ticular stage of B-cell development. Precursor-B-ALL is classified mainly into pro-B-ALL, common-ALL and pre-B-ALL. The Common Acute Lymphoblastic Antigen CD10 is the marker for common-ALL. Objective: This study was aimed to examine the ...
