Spectral karyotyping reveals a comprehensive karyotype in an adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia

چکیده
Cytogenetic abnormalities are frequently detected in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Comprehensive karyotype was related to poor prognosis frequently in ALL. We present a comprehensive karyotype in an adult ALL by spectral karyotyping (SKY) and R-banding. SKY not only confirmed the abnormalities previously seen by R-banding but also improved comprehensive karyotype analysis with the following result 47,XY,+9, ins(1;5)(q23;q23q34) t(6;7)(q23;p13). Our report demonstrated that SKY is able to provide more information accurately for prediction of disease prognosis in adult ALL with comprehensive karyotype.

Analysis of 15 cases of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia with spectral karyotyping (SKY), which can identify all chromosomes simultaneously, clarified the chromosome rearrangements in 3 cases and confirmed them in 11 others; no abnormal cells were identified in 1 case, which had only 10% abnormal cells. Five of the latter cases had a normal karyotype. Thus, the use of SKY substantially impro...

FMS-like tyrosine kinase-3 is a receptor tyrosine kinase expressed by immature hematopoietic cells and is important for the normal development of stem cells and the immune system. Mutations of FMS-like tyrosine kinase-3 have been detected in about 30% of patients with acute myelogenous leukemia and a small number of patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The FMS-like tyrosine kinase-3 muta...
متن کاملMolecular-cytogenetic aberrations in B-cell adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) - frequency and correlation with immunophenotype.
B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) accounts for 20-30% of acute leukemias in adults. Combined application of data from immunophenotyping, karyotyping and molecular analyses allows a better understanding of this heterogeneous disease. We studied 30 adult patients with newly diagnosed B-ALL by conventional cytogenetics, fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) and immunophenotyping analy...
