Abstract
- Conventional cytogenetic analysis is often hampered owing to the low mitotic index of multiple myeloma (MM) cells in bone marrow samples of MM. Interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (I-FISH) analysis combined with magnetic-activated cell sorting (MACS) has substantially enhanced the sensitivity of cytogenetic analysis. Here, we used I-FISH to explore the incidence of chromosomal abnormalities in 60 Chinese patients with newly diagnosed MM. Five different specific probes for the regions containing 13q14.3 (D13S319), 14q32 (IGHC/IGHV), 1q21, 1p12, and 17p13 were used to detect chromosomal aberrations, and LSI IGH/CCND1, LSI IGH/FGFR3, and LSI IGH/MAF probes were further applied to detect t(11;14)(q13;q32), t(4;14)(p16;q32), and t(14;16)(q32;q23) in patients with 14q32 rearrangement. Fifty of the patients (83.3%) had at least one type of abnormalities regarding the regions analyzed. Nine patients (15%) had one abnormality; 10 patients (16.7%) had two abnormalities; 31 patients (51.7%) had three or more abnormalities. The most frequent abnormality in the patients was illegitimate IgH rearrangement (70%), followed by 13q14 deletion (63.3%), 1q21 amplification (61.7%), 1p12 deletion (33.3%), and 17p13 deletion (13.3%). These aberrations are not randomly distributed, but strongly interconnected. Patients with 17p13 deletion or t(4;14)(p16;q32) had significant higher β2-microglobulin level (P < 0.05). However, all these abnormalities had no correlation with age, gender, disease stage, and Ig isotype; yet, it was showed that the frequencies of the individual chromosomal abnormalities were very high. Taken together, MACS in combination with I-FISH may be a promising tool to detect the molecular cytogenetic abnormalities of MM.
