Abstract
The occurrence of trisomy 19 was investigated in 705 cases of B-chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) by metaphase cytogenetic and/or fluorescence in situ hybridisation analyses. Trisomy 19 was detected in 11 cases (1.6%), all of which also carried a trisomy 12; nine of 10 had mutated IGHV genes. In contrast, B-CLL cases with trisomy 12 lacking trisomy 19 mostly had unmutated IGHV genes. Karyotypes of the present study and the literature identified a strong correlation to trisomy 18 in addition to trisomy 12. Trisomy 19 seems to be a secondary event in B-CLL with trisomy 12, mostly originating from mutated B cells.Entities:
