Abstract

T-cell malignancies represent a heterogeneous group of diseases with characteristic clinical and genetic features. Chromosomal aberrations that involve the T-cell receptor (TCR) alpha/delta locus (TRA/TRD) at 14q11.2 are characteristic genomic aberrations of a variety of T-cell malignancies and affect a wide array of T-cell oncogenes.

Clinics and Pathology

Disease

T-cell malignancies mainly.

Note

7 patients (2 males and 5 females) aged 23 to 78 years (median 31 years) (from the known data).

Epidemiology

T-cell malignancy in 5 out of 7 patients: 2 angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) (Cosimi et al., 1990), 1 T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) (Secker-Walker et al., 1992) and 1 T-cell large granular lymphocytic leukemia (T-LGL) that presented initially as cytomegalovirus infection (Wong et al., 2003). Various malignancies in the remaining cases: 1 chronic lymphocytic leukemia (Bird et al., 1989), 1 chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) (Farag et al., 2004) and 1 patient with chronic myeloproliferative disorder (CMD) who developed extramedullary T-lymphoid blast crisis (Yamamoto et al., 2014) (Table 1).

Genes Involved and Proteins

Note
Therefore, it is probable, that various genes have been implicated in reported cases.
Gene name
TRA/TRD (T-cell receptor alpha/delta)
Location
14q11.2

Result of the Chromosomal Anomaly

Oncogenesis

Translocations involving 14q11, the chromosomal band to which TRA and TRD have been mapped often result in rearrangement of TCR genes in T-cell leukemias/lymphomas. In most instances, these chromosomal aberrations induce the transcription of an oncogene on the partner chromosome as a result of juxtaposition of promoter and enhancer elements of TCR genes to the putative oncogene. The mechanism is not clear, but deregulated expression of a partner gene may activate a mechanism for the genesis of T-cell leukemia/lymphoma.

Summary

Note

Cytogenetic appearance may resemble the chromosomal translocation t(7;14)(p15;q11) in suboptimal preparations.
