Multicolor fluorescence in situ hybridization (M-FISH) experiments were performed to determine the composition of abnormal complex karyotypes in 15 cases of hematological malignancy. Four cases were found to have unsuspected unbalanced X chromosome translocations, which resulted in the presence of extra X chromosome material. We determined the identity of the duplicated chromosome regions using the multicolor banding (mBAND) technique. Xq27-qter was duplicated in three of the four male cases with an X chromosome abnormality (i.e., in one third of male cases and one fifth of all cases). These preliminary results may point to the existence of a recurrent chromosome abnormality, either translocation at a specific Xq27 locus or duplication of Xq27-qter.
进行了多色荧光原位杂交(M-FISH)实验,以确定15例血液系统恶性肿瘤中异常复杂核型的组成。发现4例存在未被怀疑的X染色体不平衡易位,导致额外X染色体物质的出现。我们使用多色显带(mBAND)技术确定了重复染色体区域的身份。在4例有X染色体异常的男性病例中,有3例Xq27-qter发生了重复(即占男性病例的三分之一,占所有病例的五分之一)。这些初步结果可能表明存在一种复发性染色体异常,要么是在特定Xq27位点发生易位,要么是Xq27-qter重复。
