Contributions of Cytogenetics and Molecular Cytogenetics to the Diagnosis of Adipocytic Tumors
نویسنده
چکیده
Over the last 20 years, a number of tumor-specific chromosomal translocations and associated fusion genes have been identified for mesenchymal neoplasms including adipocytic tumors. The addition of molecular cytogenetic techniques, especially fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), has further enhanced the sensitivity and accuracy of detecting nonrandom chromosomal translocations and/or other rearrangements in adipocytic tumors. Indeed, most resent molecular cytogenetic analysis has demonstrated a translocation t(11;16)(q13;p13) that produces a C11orf95-MKL2 fusion gene in chondroid lipoma. Additionally, it is well recognized that supernumerary ring and/or giant rod chromosomes are characteristic for atypical lipomatous tumor/well-differentiated liposarcoma and dedifferentiated liposarcoma, and amplification of 12q13-15 involving the MDM2, CDK4, and CPM genes is shown by FISH in these tumors. Moreover, myxoid/round cell liposarcoma is characterized by a translocation t(12;16)(q13;p11) that fuses the DDIT3 and FUS genes. This paper provides an overview of the role of conventional cytogenetics and molecular cytogenetics in the diagnosis of adipocytic tumors.

متن کاملPrenatal Diagnosis of Triploidy in Fetus with Unexpected Chromosomal Translocation of Maternal Origin
Triploidy is a lethal chromosomal abnormality. Foetuses with triploid condition have a tendency to die in early conception and very few survive to term. In this study, we report the prenatal diagnosis of fetal triploidy with unexpected chromosomal translocation. A 27 years old women was referred to our clinical cytogenetic department due to history of previous conceptus with intrauterine growth...
متن کاملDiagnosis and Disease Management in CML Patients Using Conventional and Molecular Cytogenetics
Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) is a hematopoietic malignancy characterized by the presence ofPhiladelphia (Ph1) chromosome that results from balanced reciprocal translocation between chromosomes9 and 22 leading in the formation of bcr/abl fusion gene. The present study was conducted to evaluate cytogenetic and molecular abnormalities in CML patients at presentation and during the co...
متن کاملCytogenetic Analysis of Referral Cases with Growth Failure and Clinical Suspicion of having Chromosomal Abnormality
Background and Objective: Failure to thrive (FTT) is a sign that describes a particular problem rather than a diagnosis and explain growth failure or more advanced failure to gain weight appropriately. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and type of chromosomal abnormalities in patients presented with FTT. Materials and Method: One hundred FTT cases with clinical impressio...
