OBJECTIVE/BACKGROUND: Specific chromosomal translocations are found in human leukemias and lymphomas. These translocations are closely related to particular histological and immunological phenotypes. In Burkitt's lymphoma, translocation t(8;14)(q24;q32), which involves the c-myc gene (8q24) and the immunoglobulin heavy-chain (IgH) locus (14q32), accounts for 90-95% of all chromosomal translocations. This translocation can be found in 2-5% of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Long-distance polymerase chain reaction (LD-PCR) assays, which can identify oncogene/Ig gene rearrangement, can detect these fusion genes. The objective of this study was to detect t(8;14) c-myc/IgH gene rearrangement by LD-PCR in patients with DLBCL.
In this study, 54 DLBCL cases were tested by LD-PCR with specific primers. LD-PCR was used for two breakpoints in both the IgH gene (joining region and γ switch region) and the myc gene (Exons 2 and 3).
As much as 1.85% of the samples were positive for the γ constant region and Exon 2 of the myc gene.
LD-PCR can be used for the detection of t(8;14) c-myc/IgH gene rearrangement in patients with DLBCL.
目的/背景:特定的染色体易位见于人类白血病和淋巴瘤。这些易位与特定的组织学和免疫学表型密切相关。在伯基特淋巴瘤中,涉及c-myc基因(8q24)和免疫球蛋白重链(IgH)基因座(14q32)的t(8;14)(q24;q32)易位占所有染色体易位的90 - 95%。这种易位在2 - 5%的弥漫性大B细胞淋巴瘤(DLBCL)中也可发现。能够识别癌基因/I g基因重排的长距离聚合酶链反应(LD-PCR)检测可检测到这些融合基因。本研究的目的是通过LD-PCR检测DLBCL患者中的t(8;14) c-myc/I gH基因重排。
本研究采用特异性引物,对54例DLBCL病例进行LD-PCR检测。LD-PCR用于检测IgH基因(连接区和γ转换区)和myc基因(外显子2和3)的两个断点。
高达1.85%的样本在myc基因的γ恒定区和外显子2呈阳性。
LD-PCR可用于检测DLBCL患者中的t(8;14) c-myc/I gH基因重排。
