PG - 30-6 AB - Karyotype analysis of a primary culture from a case of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) showed an abnormal short arm of one homologue of chromosome 2 as sole abnormality in 4 of 16 metaphases. Based on G-banding analysis, two different aberration types on chromosome 2 could be assumed representing either a del(2)(p22-23) or a pericentric inversion. Further comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) analysis as well as fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis were performed to confirm the assumed alterations. While CGH analysis showed no loss of chromosome 2 material, FISH with yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) probes homologous to the region 2p22-23 demonstrated two pericentric inversions of chromosome 2 involving different breakpoints on 2p in 6.8% and 4.2% of the metaphases, respectively. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis with degenerated oligonucleotide primers that bind within the conserved catalytic domain of tyrosine kinase (tk) genes resulted in amplification products with DNA of YAC 851D11 suggesting the presence of such genes at or near the translocation breakpoint.
