1q12-22 rearrangements

Monday 10 September 2007

Types

- 1q12-22 breaks
- dup(1)(q12-21q32)
- trp(1)(q12q32)

Pathology

- Abnormalities of chromosome arm 1q have frequently been reported in B-cell lymphomas and correlated with poor outcome.

- Five genes mapped to this region (BCL9, MUC1, FCGR2B, IRTA1, and RTA2) have been shown to be deregulated by juxtaposition with the IG genes.

- Other anomalies of the 1q21-22 region are not involved in translocations with the IG genes.

- Unbalanced translocations resulting in trisomy 1q and involving breakpoints at 1q12-21 18% of hepatoblastoma (a malignant embryonal liver tumor that occurs almost exclusively in infants and very young children). (15981236)
