Trisomy 12

Abstract Trisomy 12 is the most common cytogenetic abnormality in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and a number of studies have suggested that it may be an adverse prognostic indicator. We have evaluated the usefulness of fluorescence in situ hybridization with a chromosome 12- specific probe as a simple means for detecting trisomy 12 in interphase cells. Forty cases of B-cell CLL previously studied with conventional cytogenetic techniques were analyzed with a biotinylated probe to the centromeric region of chromosome 12. Thirty of these retrospective cases could be reevaluated with in situ hybridization. Our analysis showed three hybridization signals (ie, trisomy 12) in interphase cells from seven of seven cases found previously to have trisomy 12. Trisomy 12 was also detected in five additional cases: in one case thought to have a normal karyotype, in two cases that had been inadequate for routine cytogenetic analysis, and in two cases that had been found to have an abnormal karyotype without trisomy 12. In a prospective series of 20 newly accrued CLL cases, all cases were analyzed successfully by in situ hybridization and six (30%) showed trisomy 12. We were able to perform the analysis on routinely prepared and previously Wright- stained peripheral blood smears. We conclude that fluorescence in situ hybridization is a simple means for the detection of trisomy 12 in CLL. The technique is more sensitive than conventional cytogenetic analysis and would be a useful tool in clinical studies.

Trisomy 12

Abstract Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with a chromosome 12 specific alpha-centromeric probe was performed on interphase cells from 183 patients with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Twenty one cases with trisomy 12 (11.5%) were detected. The number of trisomic cells ranged from 5.5% to 76% (mean 38.5%). No correlation was found between the presence of trisomy 12 and white blood cell count, hemoglobin level, platelet count, a specific immunophenotype, clinical stage, sex, splenomegaly, or lymphadenopathy. Morphologic review of all cases with trisomy 12 showed seven (33%) with more than 10% prolymphocytes and three (14%) with CLL of mixed cell type. While trisomy 12 is the most common chromosomal abnormality in CLL, it is more frequent in morphologically atypical cases, some of which may be undergoing transformation. There was a statistically significant difference in the incidence of atypical cases between those with (47%) and without (7.6%) trisomy 12 (P < .001). It remains to be determined whether this abnormality is associated with a worse prognosis; this is currently being investigated in the context of a national therapeutic trial. The technique used is more sensitive than conventional cytogenetic analysis, which in this series failed to detect trisomy 12 in six cases. FISH allows the systematic study on a large number of patients without the need of metaphase preparations.
