✦ Synopsis
W e previously reported a 5' rearrangement of the BCLZ locus in a t( I8;22) variant translocation found in a lymphocytic lymphoma. Primary structure analysis of both rearranged chromosomes confirmed the localization of the breakpoint in the so-called vcr region (for variant cluster region) that encompasses Z-DNA stretches 5' of the BCL2 locus, and in between ]hi and Chi segments on the IGL locus. A 1,027 nucleotide segment from chromosome 22 was repeated on both derivative chromosomes 18q + and 22q -. This segment contained an octanucleotide that was also present in the normal chromosome I 8 close to the breakpoint. As a consequence of the translocation, a normal-sized BCLZ transcript was overexpressed in tumor cells. Genes Chrom Cancer 6:39-44 ( I 993).
