Abstract
Review on t(1;20)(q10-21;q11-13), with data on clinics.
Clinics and Pathology
Disease
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN), Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), multiple myeloma (MM), Burkitt lymphomas and non-Burkitt type lymphomas.
Phenotype stem cell origin
Suggested involvement of a pluripotent stem cell.
Epidemiology
Rare karyotypic event in various hematologic malignancies; AML/MDS (5 cases), ALL (4 cases), MPN (2 cases), MM (4 cases), lymphoma (4 cases). Male predominance (15 males/ 3 females); patients ages ranged from 1 to 73 years; described mainly in adults (aged 28 to 73 years); all the 4 ALL patients were children (aged 1 to 7 years) (Table 1).
Abbreviations: PV, Polycythemia vera; MDS, myelodysplastic syndrome; CML, Chronic myeloid leukemia; ALL, acute lymphoblastic leukemia; FL, follicular lymphoma, DLBCL, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma; BL, Burkitt lymphoma/leukemia; MM, multiple myeloma.
CLINICSPrognosis
Seems to confer a poor prognosis.
Cytogenetics
Cytogenetics morphological
Cytogenetically heterogeneous, the breakpoints in 1q varied from 1q10 to 1q21, with a clustering to 1q21, and the 20q breaks occurred in 20q10 to 20q13, mainly in the 20q13 region.
Additional anomalies
Usually present with additional chromosomal abnormalities; may be found together with well-known primary abnormalities such as t(9;22)(q34;q11), t(4;11)(q21;q23), and t(14;18)(q32;q21), t(8;14)(q24;q32).
Genes Involved and Proteins
Result of the Chromosomal Anomaly
Oncogenesis
Unbalanced translocations involving all or part of the long arms of chromosomes 1 and 20 are found in both hematologic neoplasms and lymphomas. The abnormality is usually present with complex pattern of rearrangements or occurring in a subclone; indicating that der(20)t(1;20) might be a secondary aberration. The extra copy of 1q segment and/ or 20q monosome may directly or indirectly provide a proliferative advantage leading to clonal evolution associated with tumor progression and advanced disease.
