Abstract:
Objective To investigate the common chromosome abnormalities in the patients with multiple myeloma and the relationships of cytogenetic abnormalities and clinical features. Methods The interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (I-FISH) analysis method was designed to detect RB1-/13q14-and 14q32 rearrangements in 49 MM patients. The statistic value of its effect on clinical features were determined. Results FISH disclosed 14q32 translocations in 26 of the 40 (53.1%) patients. 25 out of the 49 (51.02 %) cases were found with deletion of chromosome 13q14 included del(RB1) in 9 (18.4 %) and del(13q14.3) in 18 (36.7 %). 13q14 deletion and 14q32 translocation were simultaneously observed in 18 (36.7 %) cases. Spearman correlation analysis were found associated of 14q32 rearrangement with the percentage of plasma cells in bone marrow (r=0.316, P=0.27). Conclusion The frequency of 13q14 deletion and 14q32 gene translocation in multiple myeloma are high. There is a significant correlation between the presence of 14q32 translocations and chromosome 13 abnormalities in MM patients. The percentage of 14q32 translocation in plasma cells was increased significantly. The 14q32 translocation is an independent prognostic factor.
