Abstract The most frequent chromosomal abnormalities in B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (B-CLL) are deletions on 13q14 and 17p13, trisomy 12 and 14q32 rearrangement. Conventional metaphase cytogenetic analysis underestimates the frequency of specific chromosome aberrations in B-CLL due to the low rate of spontaneous mitoses and poor response to mitogen stimulation. The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of chromosomal changes in bone marrow or peripheral blood cells (or both) of B-CLL patients using a molecular cytogenetic method, interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (I-FISH). Probes for 13q14 (D13S319), 17p13 (P53 gene), the centromere of chromosome 12 (D12Z3) and 14q32 (Ig10 and Y6) were applied to detect chromosomal aberrations on bone marrow and peripheral blood smears from 83 B-CLL patients (60 male, 23 female,). Molecular cytogenetic aberrations were found in 60 (72.3%) cases, and 8 (9.6%) patients showed two kinds of abnormalities. The most frequent abnormalities detected in our patients was deletions of 13q14 in 34 cases (41.0%), followed by trisomy of chromosome 12 in 16 patients (19.3%), deletions of 17p13 in 10 patients (12%) and 14q32 rearrangement in 8 patients (9.6%). Statistical analyses were performed to correlate the molecular cytogenetic findings with Binet stages. No apparent differences in distribution were noted for anomalies del(13q14), del(17p13), +12 or 14q32 rearrangement among patients with various Binet stages. FISH was found to be a more rapid, exact and sensitive technique for the analysis of chromosome aberrations in CLL. FISH could provide accurate information of molecular cytogenetics for CLL.

Multicolor spectral karyotyping (SKY) was performed on bone marrow samples from 50 patients with multiple myeloma (MM) in anticipation of discovering new previously unidentified translocations. All samples showed complex karyotypes with chromosome aberrations which, in most cases, were not fully characterized by G-banding. Patients of special interest were those who showed add(14)(q32), add(8)(q24) and those whose G-banding karyotypes showed poor chromosome morphology. Three new recurring chromosome translocations not previously reported in MM were identified. Two of the translocations involve recurring aberrations at band 14q32.3, the site of the IgH locus, with different exchange partners. The most frequently recurring rearrangement was a subtle translocation at 14q32.3 designated as a t(14;16)(q32;q22∼23), which was identified in six patients. A second and larger translocation at 14q32, identified in two patients, was designated as a t(9;14)(p13;q32), previously associated with Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia and lymphoplasmacytoid lymphoma. A third translocation, identified in two patients, involved a whole-arm t(6;8)(p10;q10) translocation. The SKY technique was able to refine the designations of over 156 aberrations not fully characterized by G-banding in this study and resolved additional chromosome aberrations in every patient studied except two. The t(14;16)(q32;q22∼23) identified by SKY in this study suggests this may be a frequent translocation in MM associated with complex karyotypes and disease progression. Therefore, the SKY technique provides a useful adjunct to routine G-banding and fluorescence in situ hybridization studies in the cytogenetic analysis of MM.
