Variability of quantitative polymerase chain reaction detection of the bcl-2-IgH translocation in an international multicenter study.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The t(14;18)(q32;q21) chromosomal translocation is closely associated with follicular lymphoma. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis has high sensitivity and is used to assess responses to therapy. Quantification of translocation-bearing cells is a possible advantage of real-time PCR over conventional PCR. A collaborative study comparing results from 12 international laboratories is reported.

Detection of bcl-2 Translocation in Patients with Chronic Hepatitis C and its Possible Relation to Antiviral Therapy: Preliminary Study.
It has been suggested that t(14;18) translocation of bcl-2 to the immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) locus may contribute to the pathogenesis of lymphoproliferative disorders (LPD) related to hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. The present study aimed to assess the prevalence of bcl-2 translocation in Egyptian chronic HCV patients and to investigate the effect of combination antiviral therapy of i...
متن کاملCytometric detection of DNA amplified with fluorescent primers: applications to analysis of clonal bcl-2 and IgH gene rearrangements in malignant lymphomas.
Follicular lymphomas comprise almost two thirds of the US adult non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL) and are the most common malignancy of B-lineage lymphocytes. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) protocols have been developed to detect the t(14;18) translocation, which juxtaposes the bcl-2 proto-oncogene to the Ig heavy-chain (IgH) gene in 85% of follicular lymphomas and monoclonal rearrangements of the...
متن کاملQuantitation of bcl-2 oncogene in cultured lymphoma/leukemia cell lines and in primary leukemia B-cells by a highly sensitive RT-PCR method.
BACKGROUND The bcl-2 gene, isolated from the t(14;18) chromosomal translocation breakpoint, is able to prevent apoptotic death induced by various stimuli in different tissues. Therefore bcl-2 oncogene expression could be a key parameter for investigating the molecular mechanisms involved in the apoptosis of normal and neoplastic hematopoietic cells. METHODS In order to evaluate bcl-2 expressi...
متن کاملPrognostic value of circulating Bcl-2/IgH levels in patients with follicular lymphoma receiving first-line immunochemotherapy.
Bcl-2/IgH rearrangements can be quantified in follicular lymphoma (FL) from peripheral blood (PB) by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The prognostic value of Bcl-2/IgH levels in FL remains controversial. We therefore prospectively studied PB Bcl-2/IgH levels from 173 first-line FL patients who were consecutively enrolled, randomized, and treated within the multicenter phase 3 clinical trial NHL...
متن کاملUsefulness of long-distance inverse polymerase chain reaction for molecular detection of 14q32 translocation in a clinical setting.
All mature B-cell leukaemias and lymphomas have a clonal Ig gene recombination, and half of them have a reciprocal chromosomal translocation involving the 14q32 locus. The 14q32 translocation partners are variable, such as BCL-2, BCL-1 and BCL-6, thus accounting for the difficulty in molecular detection by the current genomic polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method. To identify B-cell clones eff...
