Clonal evolution of marker chromosomes in a case of myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia and myeloblastic transformation.

The diverse spectrum of acquired chromosome abnormalities in a female patient with myelofibrosis and myeloid metaplasia is described. A sequence of karyotypic evolution involving a ring chromosome is postulated. The terminal clinical picture was unusual in that there was obstructive renal failure from extramedullary myeloblastic transformation and infiltration of the bladder, and this was also present in other sites. Initially neutrophils showed low alkaline phosphatases activity but latterly two distinct populations in which cells had either high activity or none.

Unusual clonal evolution in a case of chronic myelogenous leukemia.

Several unusual cytogenetic changes have occurred during the evolution of chronic myelogenous leukemia in a 32-year-old white male with this disease for 8 years. The first appearance of a hypodiploid cell line containing a dicentric marker occurred 2 years after diagnosis and this line was eliminated by several courses of therapy with hydroxyurea. A second clone, which had a partial deletion of the long arm of one of the number 8 chromosomes (8q-) was noted a year later, but this line has been refractory to intensive combination chemotherapy.

Transposition of the oncogene c-ets-1 in a t(11;19)(q23;p13) cell line transient during clonal evolution of blast crisis chronic myeloid leukemia.

A patient with Ph-negative chronic myeloid leukemia showed active karyotypic evolution when he entered blast crisis. One cell line, which predominated briefly in an accelerated myeloid phase, was characterized by the t(11;19)(q23;p13). Chromosome in situ hybridization demonstrated movement of the oncogene c-ets-1 from the der (11q-) to the der (19p+). The breakpoint at 19p13 was in the vicinity of the human insulin receptor gene locus (INSR). No rearrangements of the c-ets and INSR genes were found in Southern blot analyses. Myeloid lineage was indicated by cell morphology and absence of immunoglobulin JH gene rearrangement and was supported by loss of the germ line bcr-3' gene. Chromosome rearrangements involving 11q23 and movement of c-ets-1 characterize monocytic and lymphoid leukemias and have not previously been reported in myeloid blast crisis of chronic myeloid leukemia.

[Characteristics of clonal evolution in patients with myelocytic leukemia].

The authors report the results of the clinical, cytochemical, cytogenetic and kinetic studies (3H-thymidine autoradiography and scanning integrating cytospectrophotometry of DNA) in a male patient with chronic myeloleukemia with blast infiltration of the lymph nodes. Analysis of the karyotype and kinetic aspects of leukemic cells obtained from the blood, bone marrow, spleen and hyperplastic lymph nodes was performed over time at different disease periods. Based on the data obtained the authors suggest that aneuploid blasts may maturate before segmented granulocytes. The probability of the medullary origin of aneuploid clones is discussed.
