Inversion (14)(q11q32) is a common cytogenetic aberration in T-cell chronic lymphoid malignancies but is rare in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). We describe two cases of childhood T-ALL in which inv(14)(q11q32) was present concomitantly with other karyotypic aberrations typical of T-ALL. The possible significance of inv(14) in these cases is also discussed.
14号染色体倒位(14)(q11q32)是T细胞慢性淋巴细胞性恶性肿瘤中常见的细胞遗传学异常,但在T细胞急性淋巴细胞白血病(T-ALL)中罕见。我们描述了两例儿童T-ALL病例,其中14号染色体倒位(14)(q11q32)与T-ALL典型的其他核型异常同时存在。还讨论了这些病例中14号染色体倒位的可能意义。
