چکیده

Chromosome banding studies on 60 children with acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), including "null," pre-B, B, and T cell phenotypes, were performed. In 4 of 17 patients with pre-B cell ALL, we noted a previously undescribed chromosome translocation, t(1;19)(q23;q13). This translocation was not found in patients with "null" cell, B cell, or T cell ALL. Since each patient with the 1;19 translocation experienced early treatment failure, t(1;19)(q23;q13) may mark a subgroup of patients with pre-B cell ALL who have an especially poor prognosis.

A t(1;19) chromosome translocation in three cases of human malignant melanoma.

Abnormalities of chromosome 1, including trisomy for all or a portion of the long arm, have been frequently reported in many cancers. Anomalies of chromosome 19 are far less common, although a t(1;19)(q23;p13) translocation has been reported in association with pre-B-cell leukemia. We have observed a t(1;19)(q12;p13) translocation in three cases of advanced melanoma, with the translocation chro...

BACKGROUND The translocation t(1;19)(q23;p13), which results in the TCF3-PBX1 chimeric gene, is one of the most frequent rearrangements observed in B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. It appears in both adult and pediatric patients with B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia at an overall frequency of 3 to 5%. Most cases of pre-B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia carrying the translocation t(1;19...

The t(1;19)(q23;p13) results in consistent fusion of E2A and PBX1 coding sequences in acute lymphoblastic leukemias.

The t(1;19)(q23;p13) chromosomal translocation is observed cytogenetically in 25% of children with pre-B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and is associated with an adverse treatment outcome. The t(1;19) juxtaposes the E2A gene from chromosome 19 with the PBX1 gene on chromosome 1, leading to the production of fusion transcripts and resultant chimeric proteins that contain the transcripti...
