摘要
The leukemic cells and derivative cell line from a 74-year-old male with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia showed chromosomal abnormalities including a t(14;14)(q11.2;q32). This translocation is characteristic of a variety of T-cell malignancies, particularly T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia and the clonal proliferations of peripheral T cells in patients with ataxia-telangiectasia. Using DNA probes that spanned the T-cell receptor alpha chain (TCRA) joining (J) locus, the DNA rearrangement caused by the translocation was identified, cloned, and sequenced. The breakpoint shows site-specific juxtaposition of a TCRA joining segment and DNA from a region of 14q32 centromeric to the immunoglobulin heavy chain locus. Comparison of restriction map and nucleotide sequence from this translocation with other related chromosomal breakpoints suggests a dispersion of breakpoints throughout the 14q32 region. © 1990.
