Popis: | Loss of chromosome 20 and rearrangement of the short arm of chromosome 9 were identified by banding analysis of three adult patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The G-banding pattern suggested an identical deletion of 9p, but, also, an unbalanced translocation with chromosome 20 was taken into consideration. Dual-color chromosome painting with probes for chromosomes 9 and 20 revealed the presence of material from chromosome 20 at the short arm of the abnormal chromosome 9 in all three cases. Centromeric alpha-satellite DNA of both chromosome 9 and chromosome 20 was demonstrated by fluorescence in situ hybridization and indicated the presence of a dicentric chromosome. The hybridization of a YAC clone of the short arm of chromosome 20 proved that the dicentric chromosome contained the short arm of chromosome 20, which had been suspected from the G-banding pattern. Thus, the rearrangement was interpreted as dic(9;20)(p11;q11.?1). Because this was the sole chromosome abnormality in two patients, dic(9;20) may be a primary chromosome aberration in ALL. In one case, a 9q+ chromosome derived from a Philadelphia (Ph) translocation was involved in the formation of the dicentric chromosome. Immunophenotyping revealed CD10+ B-cell precursor ALL in all three cases. Whereas the two patients in whom dic(9;20) was the sole cytogenetically detectable change are in continuous complete remission for 10 and 45 months, respectively, the Ph+ patient relapsed with leukemia and died 8 months after diagnosis. |
