A Rare t (8;9;22)(p21;q34;q11.2) Three Way Philadelphia Variant in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia

چکیده
Background: Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is characterized by Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome. The Ph detected by karyotyping in 90% CML but 5-10% may have variant translocation where another chromosome addition to chromosome # 9 and 22. The aim of present report is to describe a rare three-way translocation with rarely describe 8p21 breakpoint. Case report: Retrospective cytogenetic database between March 2104 and February, 2015 was searched for CML cases along with variant translocation. Out of 732 confirmed CML, one male patient with 22 year age showed a variant translocation as 46,XY,t(8;9;22) (p21;q34;q11.2). Conclusion: A rare three-way translocation of chromosome 8, 9 and 22 was detected with cytogenetic and Dual Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization technique (D-FISH) as novel breakpoint at 8p21 which was earlier reported by Abe et al., (1989) before 26 years.

A Novel Four-Way Complex Variant Translocation Involving Chromosome 46,XY,t(4;9;19;22)(q25:q34;p13.3;q11.2) in a Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Patient
Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome (9;22)(q34;q11) is well established in more than 90% of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients, and the remaining 5-8% of CML patients show variant and complex translocations, with the involvement of third, fourth, or fifth chromosome other than 9;22. However, in very rare cases, the fourth chromosome is involved. Here, we found a novel case of four-way Ph+ chromos...

Variant Philadelphia chromosome translocations involving chromosomes other than 9 and 22 have been reported in 5-10% of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). As part of the three-way variant t(9;22;11) in patients with CML, 11q24 is a novel region that has not previously been investigated. A 22-year-old male exhibiting chronic phase CML developed a recurrence of the same phase subsequen...

Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is characterized by the Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome created by the reciprocal translocation t(9:22)(q34;q11), resulting in the chimeric gene breakpoint cluster region (BCR)-Abelson (ABL). Variant Ph chromosome translocations involving chromosomes other than 9 and 22 occur in 5-10% of CML cases. In the present study, a novel case of a Ph chromosome-positive CM...
متن کاملA novel cytogenetic abnormality t(7;8)(p11.2:q11.2) and a four-way Philadelphia translocation in an imatinib mesylate-resistant chronic myeloid leukemia patient
Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is characterized by the Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome, created by a reciprocal translocation t(9:22)(q34;q11) which forms the chimeric gene, BCR-ABL. Variant Ph chromosome translocations involving chromosomes other than 9 and 22 have been identified in 5-10% of CML cases. Four-way Ph chromosome translocations are an extremely rare event in myeloid malignancies ...
متن کاملVariant Ph translocations in chronic myeloid leukemia.
Variant translocations were found in eight of 142 consecutive patients with Ph-positive, chronic myeloid leukemia encountered in our laboratory during the last decade. Two patients had simple, two-way variant translocations: t(17;22)(p13;q11) and t(16;22)(q24;q11). Both of these patients had an additional translocation involving chromosomes #9: t(7;9)(q22;q34) and t(9;17)(q34;q21), respectively...
