Rapid molecular cloning of rearrangements of the IGHJ locus using long-distance inverse polymerase chain reaction.
Clonal rearrangements of the Ig heavy chain (IGH) locus consisting of either intrachromosomal (VDJ) rearrangements or interchromosomal translocations are a consistent feature of all B-cell malignancies and may be used both diagnostically and to monitor response to therapy. Many of these rearrangements are targeted to the IGHJ segments, but only some can be amplified with regular polymerase chai...
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...
متن کاملDiagnostic tool for the identification of MLL rearrangements including unknown partner genes.
Approximately 50 different chromosomal translocations of the human MLL gene are currently known and associated with high-risk acute leukemia. The large number of different MLL translocation partner genes makes a precise diagnosis a demanding task. After their cytogenetic identification, only the most common MLL translocations are investigated by RT-PCR analyses, whereas infrequent or unknown ML...
متن کاملPanhandle PCR strategy to amplify MLL genomic breakpoints in treatment-related leukemias.
Panhandle PCR amplifies genomic DNA with known 5' and unknown 3' sequences from a template with an intrastrand loop schematically shaped like a pan with a handle. We used panhandle PCR to clone MLL genomic breakpoints in two pediatric treatment-related leukemias. The karyotype in a case of treatment-related acute lymphoblastic leukemia showed the t(4;11)(q21;q23). Panhandle PCR amplified the tr...
متن کاملMutation in Brief
It has recently been suggested that large genomic rearrangements account for 10-20% of all MSH2 mutations, and a lower proportion of all MLH1 mutations, among individuals with Lynch syndrome (hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer, HNPCC). These rearrangements are notoriously difficult to detect; moreover, for clinical purposes, simple tests must be devised to screen family members at risk....
