Clinics and Pathology
Disease
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), Burkitt lymphomas or non-Burkitt type lymphomas, acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), multiple myeloma (MM), myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) and Fanconi anemia.
Note
29 cases have been reported in the literature.
Phenotype stem cell origin
Rare secondary karyotypic event in various hematologic malignancies; AML/MDS (8 cases), Lymphoma (9 cases), ALL (6 cases), MM (3 cases), MPN (2 cases), Fanconi anemia without other hematologic malignancies (1 case).
Epidemiology
Male predominance (71%), patients ranged in age from 14 to 69 (median 41.5 years).
Prognosis
Most of 1q triplication cases did not provide detailed information for the patients survival. Although partial duplication/triplication of 1q or trisomy 1 was reported to be correlated with a poor outcome, further studies are needed for the evaluation of prognosis in such patients.
Cytogenetics
Cytogenetics morphological
1q triplication is a distinct secondary chromosomal abnormality. Most repeated region (tandem triplication) of 1q is q21-q32 (33% of total cases).
Additional anomalies
Most cases showed a complex karyotype except three solitary abnormalities of trp(1)(q) cases.
Genes Involved and Proteins
Note
The gene involved in trp(1)(q) is unknown. However, it was suggested that the most common region of duplication, 1q23-q24, habors genes associated with tumor cell invasiveness.
