چکیده

Of 187 specimens of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and four hyperplastic lymphoid proliferations with clonal chromosome abnormalities ascertained serially over a 4 1/2-year period, nine cases with t(3;22)(q27;q11) were identified. Seven of the lymphomas were diffuse tumors, predominantly large cell type. The eighth tumor, a follicular small cleaved cell lymphoma, exhibited a t(3;22) and a t(14;18)(q32;q21). The ninth case was a lymph node from a human immunodeficiency virus-positive patient which showed atypical hyperplasia. Overall survival of t(3;22) diffuse lymphoma patients was not different from that of patients with abnormal karyotypes without t(3;22). The t(3;22) diffuse tumors studied showed a disproportionate frequency of lambda light chain on their cell surfaces, a finding similar to that observed in t(8;22)(q24;q11) Burkitt's lymphomas. Our results indicate that the t(3;22)(q27;q11) is the third most common recurring translocation in diffuse non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Translocations involving band 3q27 and Ig gene regions in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

We report a series of 20 non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL) in which cytogenetic analysis showed a translocation involving band 3q27 and the site of one of the three Ig genes (14q32, 2p12, 22q11) in the neoplastic cells. These cases were found in a series of 319 patients with clonal chromosomal abnormalities studied over a 7-year period. Fourteen patients had diffuse lymphoma, mainly of large cell t...

Molecular cloning of the breakpoint for 3q27 translocation in B-cell lymphomas and leukemias.

Reciprocal exchanges between chromosomal region 3q27 and three loci of the Ig genes have been reported in cases of B-cell type non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. We have cloned a region containing a breakpoint junction of 3q27 from a cell line established from a patient with Burkitt's lymphoma carrying t(3;22)(q27;q11). The region cloned was shown to contain an Ig lambda light chain gene fused to a gene o...

Frequent occurrence of BCL6 rearrangements in nodular lymphocyte predominance Hodgkin lymphoma but not in classical Hodgkin lymphoma.

We studied the genomic status of BCL6 in 23 cases of nodular lymphocyte predominance Hodgkin lymphoma (NLPHL) and 40 cases of classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL), using dual-color interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). The BCL6 rearrangement was identified in 48% of NLPHL cases and was not detected in cHL cases. As a confirmation, sequential or simultaneous immunohistochemistry (IHC...

Application of long-distance polymerase chain reaction to detection of junctional sequences created by chromosomal translocation in mature B-cell neoplasms.

Junctional sequences created by chromosomal translocations in mature B-cell neoplasms, which involve immunoglobulin gene loci (IG) and putative proto-oncogenes on reciprocal partner chromosomes, are unique to neoplastic cells characterized by particular histological and immunological phenotypes. To establish a rapid and sensitive method to detect neoplastic cells carrying a specific chromosomal...

The Ikaros gene, a central regulator of lymphoid differentiation, fuses to the BCL6 gene as a result of t(3;7)(q27;p12) translocation in a patient with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

The BCL6 gene, isolated from the breakpoints of 3q27-associated chromosomal translocations, has been implicated in diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBL). Here we describe the molecular characterization of novel t(3;7)(q27;p12) translocations in 2 patients with DLBL. Molecular genetic analysis of the breakpoint area involving BCL6 revealed the presence of the Ikaros gene, a central regulator of ...
