Cytogenetic study was performed on a patient with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). It revealed a chromosomal translocation between chromosome bands 8q24 and 14q11. 8q24 is known to encode the oncogene c-myc, while 14q11 encodes the genes for T-cell receptor-alpha (TCR-alpha) and T-cell receptor-delta (TCR-delta). Therefore, this chromosomal translocation t(8;14) (q24;q11) seemed to be unique and specific to T-cell malignancy.
对一名T细胞急性淋巴细胞白血病(T-ALL)患者进行了细胞遗传学研究。结果显示8号染色体q24带与14号染色体q11带之间存在染色体易位。已知8q24编码癌基因c-myc,而14q11编码T细胞受体α(TCR-α)和T细胞受体δ(TCR-δ)的基因。因此,这种染色体易位t(8;14) (q24;q11)似乎是T细胞恶性肿瘤所特有的。
