Nonrandom chromosomal rearrangements of 14q32.3 and 19p13.3 and preferential deletion of 1p in 21 patients with multiple myeloma and plasma cell leukemia

Abstract: Structural chromosomal abnormalities and their break-points were characterized in 17 patients with multiple myeloma (MM) and 4 with plasma cell leukemia by banding. Chromosome 14q32 translocations with a variety of partners were detected in 13 patients, and a variant translocation t(8;22)(q24.1;q11) was detected in 1. Three recurrent 14q32 translocations have been identified: t(6;14)(p21.1;q32.3) occurring in 3 cases, and t(11;14)(q13;q32.3) and t(14;18) (q32.3;q21.3) each occurring in 2 cases. Translocations … Show more

“…Specimens analyzed in our study include primary plasma cell leukemias that represent advanced-stage disease. Limited cytogenetic data available for PCL indicate that the majority of cases are pseudodiploid Taniwaki et al, 1994;Perez et al, 1994;Heim and Mitelman, 1995). In less advanced stages, pseudodiploid tumors occur in only 10% of patients (Dimopoulos et al, 1994).…”

“…It is recognized that approximately 30-50% of MM patients carry cytogenetically abnormal clones (Kowalczyk et al, 1991;Durie, 1992;Jelinek et al, 1993;Lee et al, 1993;Ankathil et al, 1995;Sawyer et al, 1995). Nonrandom rearrangements involving chromosomes 1 and 14 (particularly 14q32), preferential gains of chromosomes 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 15, and 19, and total or partial monosomies of chromosomes 6 and 13 (Dewald et al, 1985;Gould et al, 1988;van den Berghe, 1990;Weh et al, 1990;Taniwaki et al, 1994;Lai et al, 1995;Sawyer et al, 1995) have been reported. Structural rearrangements and gain or loss of sequences on chromosomes 1, 6, 13 and 14 occur in PCL Taniwaki et al, 1994;Perez et al, 1994;Dimopoulos et al, 1994;Heim and Mitelman, 1995).…”

“…Chromosome changes in multiple myeloma are far from well characterized, mainly due to the low mitotic index which results in a small number of metaphases suitable for analysis. Still, more than 1000 cases of MM and related disorders with detailed cytogenetics have been reported (Dewald et al, 1985;Weh et al, 1993;Cigudosa et al, 1994;Taniwaki et al, 1994;Smadja et al, 1995;Laï et al, 1995;Sawyer et al, 1995;Calasanz et al, 1997) and some chromosome features can be summarized. (a) The proportion of abnormal karyotypes is about 40%, but varies between 20% and 60% depending on the series.…”

“…Cytogenetic analysis. The karyotypes of the bone marrow cells and the OHN-GM cells were analysed by G-banding (Taniwaki et al, 1994). Chromosome identification and karyotype designation were performed according to the recommendations of the International System for Human Cytogenetic Nomenclature (ISCN, 1991).…”
