✦ Synopsis

Loss of chromosome material due to deletions of the long arm of chromosome 7, del(7q), is a consistent finding in all types of myeloid disorders, invariably associated with a poor prognosis. Two different segments, 7q22 and 7q32-q33, have been implicated as critical regions of gene loss associated with these disorders. In the present study, we used fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to characterize the 7q22 breakpoint of an apparently balanced t(7;7)(p13;q22) in an acute myeloid leukemia patient. FISH analysis on bone marrow metaphases from this patient revealed that the sequence corresponding to a series of three ordered cosmids from 7q22 was deleted from one of the der(7) chromosomes. These cosmids contain the human homologue of the Drosophila homeobox gene cut (CUTL1) and span a region of approximately 150 kb. Although the proximal boundary of the deleted segment could not be exactly defined, we estimate the size of this deletion to be approximately 500 kb. Subsequently, we carried out FISH studies using the CUTL1 cosmids on a further 16 patients with deletions of 7q and myeloid disorders. The sequence corresponding to at least two of the cosmids was deleted from the del(7q) in 11 out of 14 cases with a proximal breakpoint within 7q22. Further detailed FISH mapping in this series of 17 patients has identified two other nonoverlapping commonly deleted segments at 7q31-q32 and 7q33, respectively. These data confirm and refine other studies, implying that several different genes on 7q may be involved in the pathogenesis of myeloid diseases.

FISH, using 16 probes, informative for more than 30 different loci, allowed us better to delineate the common deleted region in mature B-cell lymphoid malignancies with deletions of chromosome 7. The region spans about 5 cM and is located between bands 7q31 and 7q32, between loci D7S685 and D7S514.
