The 14q+ chromosome in pre-B-ALL.

چکیده
A child who had acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) associated with an 8;14 chromosome translocation and with a pre-B phenotype is described. The leukemic cells were determined to be pre-B-cells on the basis of intracytoplasmic mu-chain immunoglobulin (cIgM+) and the common-ALL antigen, lack of receptors for sheep erythrocytes, and lack of surface immunoglobulin. The 8;14 translocation is frequently found in patients with Burkitt's lymphoma and in most patients with B-cell ALL and is known to carry a poor prognosis. Thus far, no karyotypes have been reported for patients with pre-B-ALL. The present case indicates that a 14q+ chromosome may provide a proliferative advantage not only to cells with a B-cell phenotype, but also to pre-B-cells. The short survival of our patient also suggests that the 14q+ abnormality and the pre-B phenotype may signal a poor prognosis.

B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with a 14q+ chromosome abnormality.
An adult patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia associated with a 14q+ marker chromosome is presented. The abnormality resulted from a translocation of material from the long arm of chromosome 11. The leukemic cells were found to be B cells on the basis of surface immunoglobulins, lack of receptors for sheep erythrocytes, and a characteristically low level of adenosine deaminase activity. In...
متن کاملLoss of heterozygosity studies and deletion mapping identify two putative chromosome 14q tumor suppressor loci in renal oncocytomas.
Renal oncocytoma is considered to be a benign tumor that shares some phenotypic features with chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Recently, we described high frequencies of allelic loss at 1p, 2p, 6p, 10p, 13q, 14q, 17p, and 21q, which correlate significantly with the chromophobe subtype of RCC. To investigate the genetic relationship between these two entities, we examined 12 oncocytomas f...
متن کاملImpact of chromosome 14q loss on survival in primary head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
We screened 73 primary head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) specimens for loss of heterozygosity (LOH) on chromosome 14q. Analysis of 20 polymorphic microsatellite markers identified 29 (40%) HNSCCs exhibiting LOH of 14q in at least one locus. Six tumors had probable monosomy of 14q, displaying allelic loss for all informative markers tested, and 23 demonstrated partial losses on 14q. ...
متن کاملProliferation, differentiation, and cytogenetics of chronic leukemic B lymphocytes cultured with mitomycin-treated normal cells.
Lymphocytes from 6 patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia of the B-cell variety (B-CLL) were cultured with equal numbers of mitomycin-treated mononuclear cells from normal blood. When stimulated with pokeweed mitogen (PWM), phytohemagglutinin (PHA), or the tumor-promoting agent, phorbol tetradecanoyl-acetate (TPA), the CLL cells proliferated actively by day 3 or 4 of culture, and in four ca...
