i(9q) in ALL

چکیده
Precursor B-cell lymphoblastic leukemia is primarily a disease of children with most cases occurring before the age of six. Approximately 3000 new cases of lymphoblastic leukemia were reported in the United States in 2000. The presence of isochromosomes is a relatively unusual finding. In the few published studies available, isochromosomes occur in between 1-4% of call cases of lymphoblastic leukemia, and were most commonly associated with a precursor B-cell immunophenotype. The most commonly seen isochromosome is i(9q), followed closely by i(17q), and i(7q).

Isochromosomes in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia: a collaborative study of 83 cases.
Cytogenetic analysis of leukemic cells from 2,805 children with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) identified 83 cases (3%) that had a stemline with at least one isochromosome. The i(9q) was present in 28 (1%), the i(17q) in 23 (0.8%), and the i(7q) in 23 (0.8%). Other isochromosomes--i(21q), i(6p), i(1q), i(8q), or i(Xq)--were found in only 12 cases (0.4%). The isochromosome ca...
متن کاملEvidence for two tumor suppressor loci associated with proximal chromosome 9p to q and distal chromosome 9q in bladder cancer and the initial screening for GAS1 and PTC mutations.
The most common genetic alteration identified to date in bladder cancer is loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of chromosome 9, suggesting the presence of possible tumor suppressor genes on this chromosome. We attempted to map the location of these genes by analyzing 69 primary transitional cell carcinomas of the bladder with a panel of microsatellite markers for LOH on chromosome 9. Monosomy 9 (defin...
متن کاملPartial trisomy 9q due to maternal 9q 17q translocation.
Partial Trisomy 9q is a unique chromosomal anomaly with a distinctive phenotype. Only 5 cases have been reported in the literature till now. A large family with four affected children was studied in detail and was compared with the five previously reported cases. Determination of this novel balanced translocation in their family had helped us to offer prenatal diagnosis. This presentation is un...
متن کاملMolecular cytogenetic characterisation of partial trisomy 9q in a case with pyloric stenosis and a review.
Partial trisomy 9q represents a rare and heterogeneous group of chromosomal aberrations characterised by various clinical features including pyloric stenosis. Here, we describe the case of a 1 year old female patient with different dysmorphic features including pyloric stenosis and prenatally detected partial trisomy 9q. This partial trisomy 9q has been analysed in detail to determine the size ...
متن کاملAllelic losses of chromosomes 9, 11, and 17 in human bladder cancer.
Twenty-five human bladder tumors were examined for loss of heterozygosity of markers on chromosomes 6p, 9q, 11p, 14q, and 17p. These studies show that all of the markers were reduced to homozygosity in at least some of the tumors. They also confirmed earlier studies by Fearon et al. [Nature (Lond.), 318: 377-380, 1985] that approximately 40% of bladder tumors were reduced to homozygosity for ma...
