چکیده

Deletions involving the long arm of chromosome 11 (11q) have been recently found as recurrent chromosome aberrations in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). In the current study, the incidence and molecular extent of 11q deletions were analyzed in a series of 81 MCL by fluorescence in situ hybridization with probes from a contiguous set of yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs). Loss of chromosome 11 material was observed in 37 of 81 cases (46%). The minimally deleted segment comprised YAC 801e11 containing the ATM gene. To further narrow the minimal region of loss, P1-derived artificial chromosomes mapping to the critical region were isolated and used as probes in cases without aberrations detectable with YACs. This allowed the identification of an ATM deletion that was beyond the resolution of YAC probes. The identification of a minimally deleted segment affecting ATM suggests a pathogenic role of ATM as a tumor suppressor gene in MCL.

The ATM gene in the pathogenesis of mantle-cell lymphoma.

BACKGROUND Mantle-cell lymphoma (MCL) is genetically characterized by the translocation t(11;14)(q13;q32) leading to an overexpression of cyclin-D1, but additional chromosomal abnormalities appear to be required for MCL pathogenesis. PATIENTS AND METHODS Deletions involving chromosome 11q, which were recently found as recurrent aberrations in MCL, were analyzed at the molecular level in a ser...

ATM germline heterozygosity does not play a role in chronic lymphocytic leukemia initiation but influences rapid disease progression through loss of the remaining ATM allele.

Ataxia telangiectasia patients, with constitutional bi-allelic ATM mutations, have a marked risk of lymphoid tumors and ATM mutation carriers have a smaller risk of cancer. Sporadic ATM mutations occur in 10-20% of chronic lymphocytic leukemia and are often associated with chromosome 11q deletions which cause loss of an ATM allele. The role of constitutional ATM mutations in the pathogenesis of...

Molecular characterization of the lipL41 gene of Leptospira interrogans vaccinal serovars in Iran

Leptospirosis caused by infection with pathogenic leptospires, which is the most prevalent zoonotic disease in the world. The outer membrane proteins (OMPs) of pathogenic leptospires such as LipL41 play a crucial role in pathogenesis of this disease. Therefore a major challenge to develop an effective vaccine against leptospirosis is application of basic research on the OMPs of leptospires to i...

Mantle Cell Lymphoma with Multiple Lymphomatous Polyposis Presenting With Intussusceptions

Mantle cell lymphoma is an aggressive type of B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that originates from small to medium sized lymphocytes located in the mantle zone of the lymph node. The gastrointestinal tract is the predominant site of extranodal involvement in the form of multiple lymphomatous polyposis. Multiple lymphomatous polyposis due to mantle cell lymphoma presenting with intussusception is ...

Genomic DNA-chip hybridization in t(11;14)-positive mantle cell lymphomas shows a high frequency of aberrations and allows a refined characterization of consensus regions.

Tumor samples of 53 patients with t(11;14)-positive mantle cell lymphomas (MCLs) were analyzed by matrix-based comparative genomic hybridization (matrix-CGH) using a dedicated DNA array. In 49 cases, genomic aberrations were identified. In comparison to chromosomal CGH, a 50% higher number of aberrations was found and the high specificity of matrix-CGH was demonstrated by fluorescence in situ h...
