PG - 1330-4 AB - The coexistence of trisomy 12 and deletions of chromosome 13 (13q12-q32) has rarely been observed in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL). Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) performed on 600 consecutive CLL patients revealed the association of trisomy 12 and 13q14 deletion, of at least one of the three markers analysed (RB1, D13S319 and D13S25), in 55 cases (9% of 600 and 46% of 120 trisomy 12 cases). Trisomy 12 and isolated RB1 deletion were seen in 14/120 cases, trisomy 12 and D13S319/D13S25 deletion with diploid RB1 in 19/118, and trisomy 12 and deletion encompassing the three 13q markers studied in 22/118 cases. The heterogenous distribution of trisomy 12 and 13q deletions within the neoplastic B cells suggests that they are secondary rather than primary events in CLL leukaemogenesis.
