Mutagen exposures and chromosome 3 aberrations in acute myelocytic leukemia

Abstract: Thirteen patients with acute myelocytic leukemia (AML) and with clonal aberrations involving chromosome 3 were studied. Three patients had monosomy 3, four had trisomy 3, and six had structural aberrations of chromosome 3. In the majority of cases chromosome 3 aberrations were parts of complex karyotypes, but in two patients, the abnormalities appeared as single aberrations, one as an interstitial deletion del(3)(p13p21) and the other as monosomy 3. All breakpoints of chromosome 3 were found in the fragile sit… Show more

“…Numerical and structural changes of chromosome 3, such as monosomy 3, trisomy 3 and del(3)(p13p21) etc. in AML patients have also been reported recently to be associated with occupational exposure to organic solvents and/or petroleum products (Lindquist et al, 2000). Loss of E-group chromosomes, including chromosomes 17 and 18, was detected in several studies (Golomb et al, 1982;Groupe, 1984).…”

“…This location is a fragile site region of chromosome 3, and is mainly known to be affected in therapy-related adult AML (30). Chromosome 3 aberrations are rare in pediatrics, but do occur as translocations, inversions and deletions (30, 31). These genetic alterations may contribute to aberrant expression of EphB1 in AML patients.…”

“…They are present in 2% of patients with AML, as well as patients with MDS, and in the blastic phase of CML (Bitter et al, 1985;Lindquist et al, 2000). A strong association with trilineage myelodysplasia including abnormalities of the megakaryocytic lineage has been reported.…”
