Blood |
WBC : 213 x 109/L ; Hb : 9.6 g/dL ; platelets : 23 x 109/L; blasts : 93 % . |

Pathology : - |
Electron microscopy : - |
Precise diagnosis : Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, L1 (pre-B). |
Survival |
Date of diagnosis: 08-2006 |
Treatment : Methotrexate, Ara-C, Hyper-CVAD protocol. |
Complete remission was obtained |
Treatment related death : - |
Relapse : - |
Phenotype at relapse : - |
Status : Alive (04-2007) |
Survival : 9 month(s) |
Karyotype |
Sample : BM ; culture time : 24 h ; banding : G-band |
Results : 46,XY,der(16)t(1;16)(q11-12;q11) [20] |
Other molecular cytogenetics technics : Fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH), with LSI CBFB DC and WCP probes for chromosome 1 and 16 (WPC DNA Probe 1, SpectrumOrange; WPC DNA Probe 16, SpectrumGreen) obtained from Vysis (Downers Grove IL, USA). |
Other molecular cytogenetics results : The analysis with LSI CBFB DC probe revealed one normal signal on the CBFB allele in the normal chromosome 16, while on the der(16) no red/green signal was detected, confirming the rearrangement of 16q. Hybridization with WCP 1 SpectrumOrange and WCP 16 SpectrumGreen probes revealed 2 normal chromosomes 1, one normal chromosome 16 and confirmed the der(16)t(1;16). |
Other molecular studies |
technics : RT-PCR for BCR-ABL |
results : The BCR-ABL transcript was negative by the conventional method of molecular analysis. |

Comments |
A 47-years old Filipino male was diagnosed with ALL in August 2006. Cytogenetic analysis of the bone marrow sample revealed a clearly abnormal chromosome 16 and the karyotype 46,XY,-16,+der(16)t(1;16)(q11-12;q11) was identified in all the 30 examined metaphases. Recurrent whole-arm translocation of 1q to the centromeric region of chromosome 16 has been detected in a number of malignancies, but only occasionally described in hematological malignancies. The previously described 3 MDS, 4 AML and 3 ALL cases with t(1;16)(q11-q12;q11-12) were always unbalanced, suggesting either trisomy of 1q or monosomy of 16q may potentially contribute to leukemogenesis. |
