چکیده

Chromosome 11 band q23 is commonly involved in nonrandom chromosomal translocations in hematopoietic malignancies, especially in infant acute leukemias. By using pulsedfield gel electrophoresis (PFGE) with restriction endonuclease digests of DNA from both a leukemia cell line (RS4;ll) bearing the t(4;l l)(q21;q23) and from human/ hamster hybrid cells, we have been able to construct a detailed restriction map of the chromosome 1 lq23 region and have localized the t(4;ll) chromosome 11 breakpoint to a region located approximately 200 to 230 kb telomeric to the CD3-y region and approximately 580 kb centromeric to the PBGD gene. PFGE analyses of DNA from clinical leukemia specimens and

The Chromosome 4 q 21 Gene ( AF - 4 / FEL ) Is Widely Expressed in Normal Tissues and Shows Breakpoint Diversity in t ( 4 ; 1 l ) ( q 21 ; q 23 ) Acute Leukemia

The chromosomal translocation, t (4 ; l l )(q21 ;q23), is the most common type of 1 1 q23 chromosomal abnormality, being highly prevalent in infant acute leukemias and associated with a poor prognosis. The t (4 ; l l ) results in the fusion of an ll q23 gene (MLL, HRX, Htrx-1 , or ALL-1) and a 4q21 gene (AF-4 or FEL). To further evaluate the 4q21 gene and its role in t(4;ll) acute leukemia, we ...

We have analyzed a series of nine infant leukemias that carry a t(11;19)(q23;p13). They had the morphologic features of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and expressed markers typical of B-cell progenitor ALL or pre-6 ALL; one coexpressed myeloid markers in addition to lymphoid markers (biphenotypic). Two probes (PIS4 and 98.40) subcloned from a yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) known to span ...

The t(4;11)(q21;q23) chromosomal abnormality was identified in 40 (2%) of 1,986 children with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). This translocation was associated with female sex (63%). age less than 1 year (60%). hyperleukocytosis (median leukocyte count, 156.5 x 109/L), CDlO-/CD19+ B-precursor cell immunophenotype, and myeloid-associated antigen (CD15) expression (63%). Nearl...

Mice with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) were injected intravenously with primary bone marrow blasts from 12 children with newly diagnosed t(4;ll)(q21;q23) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Blasts from eight patients caused overt disseminated leukemia, whereas blasts from the other four patients produced occult leukemia that was detectable only by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) ...
