Genomic abnormalities in monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance.
Translocations involving immunoglobulin (Ig) loci and chromosome 13 monosomy (Delta 13) are frequent cytogenetic findings in multiple myeloma (MM). Similar chromosomal aberrations have been identified in the monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), but their prevalence and significance remain uncertain. Bone marrow from 72 patients with MGUS (n = 62) and smoldering MM (n = 10)...
متن کاملClinical significance of cytogenetic abnormalities in adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
ACUTE LYMPHOBLASTIC leukemias (ALL) are characterized by clonal proliferation, accumulation, and tissue infiltration of neoplastic cells. They are mainly regarded as childhood diseases, with an early incidence peak at 2 to 5 years of age, where they represent about 80% of the childhood leukemias in the United States, and occur with an incidence of up to 30 cases per 1 million population per yea...
متن کاملCharacteristics and clinical significance of cytogenetic abnormalities in polycythemia vera
Up to 20% of patients with polycythemia vera have karyotypic abnormalities at the time of the initial diagnosis. However, the cytogenetic abnormalities in polycythemia vera have not been well characterized and their prognostic impact is largely unknown. In this study, we aimed to address these issues using a large cohort of polycythemia vera patients with cytogenetic information available. The ...
متن کاملThe clinical significance of cytogenetic abnormalities in acute myeloid leukaemia.
During the last three decades it has become apparent that the majority of cases of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) are characterized by at least one of a variety of recurrent chromosomal abnormalities. These changes have been found in many instances to correlate closely with distinct morphological features and clinical characteristics, the molecular basis of which is becoming increasingly underst...
متن کاملMonoclonal gammopathies of undetermined significance.
Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) is characterized by the presence of a monoclonal protein (M-protein) without evidence of multiple myeloma (MM), Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia (WM), amyloidosis (AL), or a related plasma cell proliferative disorder. Agarose gel electrophoresis followed by immunofixation is recommended for recognition of an M-protein. Monoclonal gammopat...
