Trisomy 8 is seen in a range of disorders both constitutional and acquired. The full constitutional condition presents with physical stigmata, skeletal abnormalities and a mild to moderately retarded IQ. Trisomy 8 is frequently seen as a mosaic in the blood or in the skin or both. Trisomy 8 as an acquired condition is found in haematological disorders, notably in myelodysplasia (MDS) and acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), and is restricted to the malignant cells. These arise in the bone marrow and may also be found in the peripheral blood. Reported in the issue (Zollino et al. (1995) Leukemia Res. 19(10), 733) is a case of a patient with constitutional trisomy 8 mosaicism who developed myelodysplasia with trisomy 8 in 95-100% of bone marrow cells. Here we consider the implications of this case to the diagnosis of both malignant and constitutional conditions. 相似文献

Even though an association between Down syndrome (DS) and malignancies has been established, the mechanism behind this is still unclear. We therefore investigated constitutional chromosomal abnormalities and bleomycin-induced chromosome sensitivity in 12 DS children, 8 DS children with malignancies, and 10 normal controls to explore whether these factors play any role in cancer predisposition. Trisomy 21 was the only constitutional cytogenetic abnormality observed in all the DS children. But there was significant variation between the patients and controls with regard to bleomycin sensitivity. Compared to the normal controls, all the DS patients expressed significantly higher chromosomal breaks per cell (b/c) values indicating sensitivity to bleomycin. Furthermore, DS children with malignancies demonstrated significantly higher b/c values than DS children with malignancies. These results permit us to assume that DS children showing mutagen hypersensitivity may be having defective DNA repair competence and hence may be predisposed to malignancies. 相似文献

Trisomy 4 is an uncommon numerical chromosomal aberration in acute leukemia. We describe three cases of trisomy 4, occurring in two patients with acute myeloid leukemia (M1 and M5a) and in one patient with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Our results suggest that trisomy 4 may occur in a broader range of hematologic and malignancies than previously described. 相似文献

A boy with Down syndrome who developed acute nonlymphocytic leukemia (ANLL/M2) at the age of 40 months is presented. Chromosomal analysis of cultured peripheral blood cells without mitogen revealed a constitutional abnormality, trisomy 21, associated with the acquired chromosome change t(8;21)(q22;q22). 相似文献

Trisomy 22 is the most frequent trisomy, after trisomy 16, of the trisomies present in miscarriages. The children born with trisomy 22 have usually unbalanced translocations 11; 22 or mosaicisms. In a recent review Bacino et al. [1] were able to find 17 cases of children born with trisomy 22 including only 3 cases confirmed by molecular cytogenetics. We report a patient with an extra chromosome 22q- without mosaicism. This chromosomal anomaly was defined with FISH studies. The phenotype include microcephaly, microtia with pre auricular tags, hypertelorism, epicanthus, palatal cleft, short neck, winging scapulae, hypoplasia of the distal phalanges, pulmonary stenosis and mental retardation. 相似文献

We report on a case of constitutional mosaicism for a large pericentric inversion of chromosome 9 in a man whose daughter had recombinant aneusomy resulting in partial 9q duplication and partial 9p deletion. At age 6 months, the girl was evaluated because of congenital anomalies [corrected] and developmental delay. Chromosomal analysis on this infant showed a derivative chromosome 9 which was later determined to be a recombinant chromosome with trisomy of 9q34.1-->qter and monosomy of pter-->9p24. Chromosomal analysis in her father showed the presence of two cell lines; 75% of lymphocytes had a 46,XY pattern, and 25% had a 46,XY,inv(9)(p24q34.1) karyotype. The infant's physical findings represent a composite of the reported cases of both trisomy 9q34.1-->qter and monosomy pter-->9p24. The infant's father was phenotypically and cognitively normal. This case broadens the spectrum of reported cases of mosaicism for an autosomal structural rearrangement generating unbalanced gametes, and further supports the tenet that constitutional mosaicism has clinical relevance for genetic counseling. 相似文献

Among 58,000 amniocenteses completed, our laboratories found one case of true cytogenetic trisomy 2 mosaicism in a fetus with multiple abnormalities. In contrast, 11 fetuses phenotypically normal at birth were found to have true trisomy 2 mosaicism in their chorionic villus cells among the 10,500 fetuses tested by chorionic villus sampling (CVS). In our single abnormal case, amniocentesis performed at 19 weeks after finding an elevated maternal serum AFP found two independent cultures with trisomy 2 karyotypes in 8 of 25 and 7 of 31 amniocytes, respectively. Although oligohydramnios was noted by ultrasound, the mother elected to continue the pregnancy. At 26 weeks the fetus had intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR), hydronephrosis, and cardiac abnormalities. When delivered by Cesarean section at 30 weeks, the infant had multiple anomalies and developed necrotizing enterocolitis and severe cholestasis. At 5 months coronal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) displayed delayed myelination and abnormal brain morphology. The patient also exhibited significant growth failure and developmental delay. Although chromosomes were normal in blood, skin fibroblasts, and ascites fluid cells, 4 of 100 hepatic biopsy fibroblasts were 47,XY,+2. Molecular analysis excluded uniparental disomy (UPD) of chromosome 2 in the 46,XY cell line. This and other reports of rare phenotypically abnormal trisomy 2 mosaic fetuses identified by karyotyping amniocytes emphasizes the substantially higher fetal risk of abnormal development than when trisomy 2 is found only in chorionic villus cells. 相似文献

A total of 11 cases with trisomy 14 as the sole abnormality were found in the database of a large cytogenetic reference laboratory from 1993 to the present. Four of the 11 cases had an isochromosome 14q. In 8 cases, the trisomy 14 was a mosaic cell line. Eight cases were diagnosed with myelodysplasia, 2 cases had both myelodysplastic and myeloproliferative features similar to some atypical chronic myeloid leukemia cases, and 1 case had acute myeloid leukemia of M1 or M2 type. Nine were males and two females. The median age was 77 years. Referring physicians were contacted and clinical information was available in only 8 cases. Survival ranged from 1 month to approximately 3 years. An abnormal red cell morphology, such as elliptocytes or schistocytes or both, was observed in the majority of cases. This study along with the reported cases strengthens the hypothesis that trisomy 14 is a nonrandom cytogenetic abnormality associated with myeloid malignancy. 相似文献

CD69 is an early activation antigen of peripheral blood lymphocytes and is constitutively expressed on a wide variety of bone marrow-derived cells. To further characterize the distribution and understand the potential biological role of the molecule in normal and malignant hematopoiesis, we used a novel high affinity anti-CD69 mAb (UN6) and analyzed hematopoietic progenitor cells together with a panel of myeloid and lymphoid malignancies. We report that mobilized peripheral blood CD34+ cells display detectable levels of CD69 and that the density of membrane expression correlates with the immature phenotype CD34bright Thy-1bright cells. Furthermore, during cytokine-induced differentiation, the expression of CD69 is moderately down-regulated. Analysis of hematopoietic malignancies revealed that CD69 expression correlates with the immature myeloid phenotype. Taken together these data suggest a role of CD69 during the early phase of hematopoiesis and in the leukemic transformation. 相似文献

Of 1,036 children with newly diagnosed non-T, non-B acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and a demonstrated cytogenetic abnormality treated on the frontline Pediatric Oncology Group (POG) therapeutic trial 8602, there were 33 patients with trisomy 21 as the sole abnormality. Of these 33, 14 had Down syndrome (DS). Although the non-DS (NDS) trisomy 21 cases tended to be older than the DS cases, there were no other significant differences in clinicobiologic features nor in treatment outcomes between the DS and NDS groups, nor between the entire trisomy 21 group and the other chromosome abnormality group. Among NDS patients with +21 and one additional abnormality, +X, +16, -20, and structural abnormalities involving 6q or 12p were common findings. Kaplan-Meier event-free survival (EFS) curves showed a 4-year EFS of 80% (SE, 12%) in NDS trisomy 21 cases, 71% (SE, 22%) in DS cases with trisomy 21 as the sole abnormality, and 69% (SE, 2%) in cases with other chromosome abnormalities. Trisomy 21 as a sole acquired abnormality in NDS patients suggests a good prognosis. 相似文献

A case of mosaicism of trisomy 15, with two-thirds of the cells trisomic, was detected at 12 weeks of gestation in amniotic fluid cell cultures obtained with the filtration technique. Ultrasound examination at 13 weeks showed a nodule protruding into the amniotic cavity which was speculated to be remnants of a co-twin, causing the trisomic cell line. At 20 weeks of gestation, a malformation scan (level III) was normal, but supplementary fetal echocardiography revealed a severe cardiac defect (mitral atresia and a ventricular septal defect). Fetal lymphocytes obtained by cordocentesis showed trisomy 15 mosaicism, but only in 5 per cent of the mitoses. After termination, the same percentage of trisomy 15 mosaicism was found in cells from skin and tendon as in the original early amniocentesis. No sign of earlier twinning was found in the placenta or membranes. We conclude that mosaicism in early amniotic fluid obtained by the filter technique in this case reflected the true karyotype accurately and that supplementary echocardiography added significantly to the interpretation of the clinical implications. 相似文献

The authors report on a case of trisomy 9 mosaicism syndrome, a rare chromosome abnormality. The common features of this syndrome are growth and mental retardation, low-set malformed ears, wide sutures and fontanelles, bulbous nose, short palpebral fissures, micrognathia, microphthalmia and enophthalmos, abnormal hands and feet, hip dislocation, joint limitation, cardiovascular defects and urogenital abnormalities. Our patient presented some unusual characteristics, such as 13 pairs of ribs, a vertebral malformation, a hemivertebra and a Dandy-Walker syndrome. They compare their clinical findings with the few cases previously described and they try to contribute to the further clinical definition of the syndrome. It is possible that there is a correlation between the variability of the phenotype and the percentage of trisomic cells in the patient. 相似文献

Trisomy 12 is a frequent abnormality in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL). The biological importance of trisomy 12 is still poorly understood but it has been suggested that one or several genes are duplicated leading to malignant transformation. We present a case with amplification of 12q13-22 found in a clinically aggressive relapse of CLL. A smaller region, 12q13-15, was amplified most frequently and a YAC containing the MDM2 gene gave the highest number of signals. Additionally, in a subclone an amplicon containing at least 5 copies of a cosmid from 12q23-24 was detected. The case shows that small duplications of chromosome 12, not revealed by cytogenetic analysis, may occur in CLL. Also, it shows that cytogenetic clonal evolution can occur in CLL without morphological evidence of blast transformation. Our results indicate that the 12q13-15 region carries an important gene for CLL progression. 相似文献

It has been reported that the CD56+/CD7+/CD3- phenotype of natural killer (NK) cells develop from the CD34+/HLA-DR- bone marrow (BM) mononuclear cell population in long-term BM culture (LTBMC). An HLA-DR-/CD33+/CD56+/CD16- myeloid/natural killer cell acute leukemia has been described. We report here a 7-year-old boy who developed stem cell acute leukemia with superior vena cava syndrome secondary to thymic involvement. Surface marker analyses revealed that the leukemia cells showed CD34+/HLA-DR-/CD33-/CD7+/CD56+ phenotype. When stimulated with phorbol ester in vitro the leukemic cells morphologically differentiated to myeloid cells developing CD13, CD15 and CD56 antigens. Our results suggest that CD34+/HLA-DR-/CD7+/CD56+ stem cell leukemia may arise from transformation of a pluripotent precursor cell, which could differentiate to both myeloid and NK cell lineages. 相似文献

Robertsonian translocations, although relatively common as a constitutional genetic aberration, are rarely encountered in leukaemia. We report a case of acute myeloid leukaemia which showed an acquired Robertsonian translocation in the form of der(14;21) by cytogenetic analysis of leukaemic cells. This was confirmed by the PHA-stimulated culture of peripheral blood lymphocytes. A review of the literature identifies only eight reported cases of acquired Robertsonian translocations in leukaemia. In the majority of cases the Robertsonian translocation occurs as a secondary change in a complex abnormal clone, whereas in two out of nine patients reported, including ours, it is found as a sole karyotypic abnormality. 相似文献

An embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma was analyzed cytogenetically. In primary cultures fed a serum-containing medium, 11 clones with karyotypic abnormalities were found. One had trisomy 8 only. The other 10 clones had trisomy 8 as well as additional evolutionary changes that included trisomy for part or all of chromosome 2, isochromosomes for the short and long arms of chromosome 11, isochromosomes for the long arm of chromosome 8, and extra copies of chromosome 8, some of which had an interstitial deletion in 8q. In those primary cultures that had grown in a chemically defined, serum-free medium and in all passaged cultures, trisomy 8 was the only aberration. Our findings and a survey of published information point to gain of one chromosome 8 as a frequent primary karyotypic abnormality in embryonal rhabdomyosarcomas. Trisomy for part or all of chromosomes 2 and 11 and additional gains of chromosome 8 material seem to be common secondary changes. 相似文献

We report a case of mosaic trisomy 20, the most common autosomal mosaicism identified in amniocytes, ascertained in a woman referred for amniocentesis because of abnormal ultrasound at 18.1 weeks' gestation which revealed short femurs and nuchal thickening. Metaphase analysis of 98 clones revealed 47,XY, +20 in 96 cells (98 per cent). Trisomy 20 was demonstrated in 6 cells (12 per cent) in a total of 50 cells from two fetal blood cultures obtained after pregnancy termination. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis of interphase nuclei utilizing a chromosome 20 alpha-satellite centromeric DNA probe revealed three signals in 57/546 nuclei (10 per cent) in fetal blood. Metaphase analysis of 167 cells from seven different fetal tissue sources revealed trisomy 20 in 32 cells (19.2 per cent). The percentage of trisomy 20 cells varied with tissue type, with the highest percentage (13/25 cells, 52 per cent) identified in the small intestine and lymph nodes and the lowest percentage (1/34 cells, 2.9 per cent) identified in a specimen of chorionic villi. Molecular genetic analyses utilizing polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-formated dinucleotide repeat polymorphisms demonstrated that the non-disjunctional event most likely occurred post-zygotically and that the origin of the extra chromosome 20 was maternal. This study is the first to demonstrate trisomy 20 cells in fetal blood, suggesting that mosaic trisomy 20 can be embryonic in origin. In cases of prenatally detected mosaic trisomy 20, examination of fetal blood should be considered, as well as study of placental membranes, skin, and urine sediment to confirm the karyotype and determine its significance. 相似文献

This report describes a case of apparent confined placental mosaicism for trisomy 8 in a pregnancy which produced a male infant with intra-uterine growth retardation. Postnatal cytogenetic and molecular studies were consistent with biparental disomy 8. Postnatally, the infant experienced a period of rapid catch-up growth and exhibited no clinical features of trisomy 8 mosaicism. His development was age appropriate. 相似文献

A hereditary component is implicated in many different cancers, including hairy cell leukemia (HCL), and may involve an instability of the genome. We have previously documented recurrent clonal and non-clonal chromosomal abnormalities in hairy cells. To ascertain whether this instability of the genome is restricted to the malignant cells or if it might also include normal cells we performed cytogenetic investigations on skin fibroblasts and hairy cells from eight HCL patients and skin fibroblasts from eight referents. The frequency of chromosome abnormalities, regardless of clonality, was significantly increased in the fibroblasts from patients compared to referents. Also, five patients compared to one referent showed clonal abnormalities in their fibroblasts. Immunohistochemical investigations excluded the possibility that the fibroblast cultures were contaminated with hairy cells. Two patients had constitutional abnormalities, inv(5)(p13.1q13.3) and t(13;14), and one additional patient, possibly mosaic, showed the same abnormality, inv(9)(p21-22q22), in both fibroblasts (17/30) and blood (5/21) cells. Aberrations in patient fibroblasts also included sporadic inv(5), del(6)q, inv(19), and del(20)q, abnormalities previously shown to occur in hairy cells. A clonal expansion with trisomy 7 occurred in vitro as documented by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). The only clonal abnormality occurring in a referent was -Y/-Y,+15 in an elderly male. In conclusion, a constitutional chromosomal instability may precede chromosome abnormalities and be of importance in the development of hairy cell leukemia. 相似文献

Cytogenetic follow-up of patients with nonlymphocytic leukemia. II. Acute nonlymphocytic leukemia 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Bone marrow (BM) karyotypes of 86 patients with acute nonlymphocytic leukemia (ANLL) were studied at the time of diagnosis: 39 of them (45%) were normally diploid and 47 (55%) showed acquired abnormalities. The median survival was no longer in the diploid group than in the aneuploid one. Nonrandom aberrations were often found: trisomy 8 (15 times), monosomy 7 (7 times), and t(8;21) (7 times). Two patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia presented with the t(15;17) in BM cells. Serial cytogenetic studies performed in 17 cases showed that karyotypic evolution closely followed the clinical evolution. Complete remission, obtained in 10 cases, was characterized by BM metaphases with a normal karyotype. Relapse after a period of complete remission was documented four times; the BM metaphases then showed the original abnormal karyotype with additional changes that, in three cases, were limited to a new structural aberration. 相似文献
