✦ Synopsis

The MOLT-16 cell line was established from the leukemic cells of a patient with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia and contains a t(8;14)(q24;q11) resulting in juxtaposition of sequences downstream of the MYC gene on chromosome 8 and the J region of the T-cell receptor alpha chain gene (TCRA) on chromosome 14. The reciprocal translocation involved a complex rearrangement with two chromosome breakpoints within the TCRA J region on chromosome 14, resulting in inversion of a 1.4 kb DNA fragment between the two breakpoints. The 5Ј border of the inversion joins with another segment of chromosome 14, whereas the 3Ј border joins with a region of chromosome 8 located at least 257 kb downstream of MYC. Extensive deletions have occurred on both chromosomes 8 and 14 in conjunction with the translocation. To investigate the possible involvement of the V(D)J recombinase in this translocation, we analyzed the nucleotide sequences surrounding the translocation breakpoints. The breakpoint on chromosome 14 occurs between a segment coding for a TCRA J sequence and its heptamer-nonamer signal. Heptamer-nonamer consensus sequences are also identified on chromosome 8 adjacent to the breakpoint. Inserted N and P nucleotides are observed at the breakpoint junctions.

We report on a novel chromosomal aberration, inv(8)(p11q24), in an M5 acute myeloid leukemia. We show by fluorescence in situ hybridization and Southern blot analyses that a t(8;16)(p11;p13) is masked by this inversion. The translocation targets the MOZ gene from the 8p11 and the CBP gene from the 1
