  • Title: t(14;22)(q32;q11) in non-Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloid leukaemia: molecular cytogenetic investigations.
    Author: Aamot HV, Bjørnslett M, Delabie J, Heim S.
    Journal: Br J Haematol; 2005 Sep; 130(6):845-51. PubMed ID: 16156854.
    Abstract:
    Two non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL), one chronic lymphocytic leukaemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma and one diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and three cases of myeloid leukaemia, two chronic (CML) and one acute (AML), showed, by G-banding analysis, apparently identical chromosomal translocations t(14;22)(q32;q11), in three of the cases as the sole abnormality. Fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) analysis with locus-specific probes for ABL at 9q34 [bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs) 835J22 and 1132H12], IGH at 14q32 [P1 artificial chromosome (PAC) 998D24] and IGL (PAC 1019H10) and BCR (BAC 74M14) at 22q11, as well as multicolour in situ hybridisation (M-FISH) analyses were performed. A three-way variant translocation of the classical t(9;22)(q34;q11), t(9;22;14)(q34;q11;q32), involving both BCR and ABL, was unravelled by the molecular cytogenetic investigations in the three myeloid leukaemia cases; a similar variant translocation has previously been reported in seven CML. The two cases of NHL (one NHL with a similar 14;22-translocation has been reported previously) had no involvement of BCR or ABL, but instead the IGH and IGL genes were shown to be juxtaposed by the t(14;22)(q32;q11). How such a rearrangement with recombination of IGH and IGL might elicit a pathogenetic effect is completely unknown.
