C-trisomy in a case of neonatal leukaemia.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A case of neonatal leukaemia of acute myeloid cell type was diagnosed at age 8 weeks and the patient died shortly afterwards with evidence of disseminated intravascular coagulation. An aneuploid malignant cell line 47, XY+C was found, in addition to the infant's normal constitutional karyotype. Eight other cases of congenital or neonatal leukaemia with aneuploid malignant cell lines are reviewed. C-trisomy is a commonly acquired chromosomal abnormality in a wide range of malignant and premalignant haematological disorders, and its possible significance in relation to leukaemogenesis in this case is discussed.

Trisomy 21 associated transient neonatal myeloproliferation in the absence of Down's syndrome.
Although usually associated with Down's syndrome, transient neonatal myeloproliferation (TMD) can occur in the absence of a constitutional trisomy 21. This report describes two such cases, both of whom had a trisomy 21 restricted to clonal cells. Unlike in previous such reported cases, spontaneous morphological, cytogenetic, and molecular remission in both cases was followed by re-emergence, in...
متن کاملReport of a Case with Trisomy 9 Mosaicism
Trisomy 9 is a rare chromosome disorder with high neonatal mortality. It is often seen in mosaic form. Most patients who survive are severely mentally retarded. The main features of this syndrome are "bulbous" nose, microphthalmia, dislocated limbs, and other anomalies of skeletal, cardiac, genitourinary, and central nervous system. Most patients have developmental and cognitive impairment. Pat...
متن کاملReciprocal translocation between chromosomes 8 and 9 in atypical chronic myeloid leukaemia.
A balanced translocation t(8;9) (p11;q34) was present in the peripheral blood, bone marrow, and spleen cells of a patient with Ph negative chronic myeloid leukaemia. Subsequent transformation into acute leukaemia was associated with the emergence of trisomy 8 and der(8)(8qter----cen----8p11::9q34----9qter). This is the third reported case of t(8;9) (p11;q34) and raises the question of the role ...
متن کاملt(1:14) and trisomy 4 in a patient with concomitant leukaemias.
Cytogenetic abnormalities have long been recognized as the genetic basis of the occurrence of various malignancies. Specific cytogenetic abnormalities have shown to occur recurrently in particular subtypes of leukaemias and lymphomas. t(1;14) is an infrequently occurring recurrent chromosomal translocation that has been described in literature to be associated with haematological malignancies. ...
متن کاملConstitutional trisomy 8 as first mutation in multistep carcinogenesis: clinical, cytogenetic, and molecular data on three cases.
Three patients, with constitutional trisomy 8 mosaicism (CT8M), who developed a malignancy are reported. The diagnoses were refractory anaemia, acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, and idiopathic myelofibrosis. In the child with acute leukaemia, the CT8M was diagnosed at birth due to severe dysmorphisms and malformations; the other two patients showed a milder phenotype, and the CT8M was diagnosed on...
