Table I.
Patients with +12 by FISH and/or CBA*
Patients (N=250) | Number (%) |
---|---|
| |
FISH+/CBA− | 100 (40) |
FISH+/CBA+ | 91 (36) |
FISH+ only | 59 (24) |
| |
FISH +12: alone | 206 (82) |
with del(13q) | 44 (18) |
| |
FISH +12: 7–25% | 56 (22) |
26–50% | 86 (34) |
51–75% | 94 (38) |
76–100% | 14 (6) |
| |
CBA: diploid | 93/191 (47) |
+12 alone | 40/191 (21) |
with +19 | 14/191 (7) |
with del(14q) | 9/191 (5) |
with +18 | 6/191 (3) |
others§ | 29/191 (17) |
Cases were classified using the hierarchical risk model of FISH anomalies; thus cases with concomitant del(11q) or del(17p) were not included in the analysis.
Additional chromosomal abnormalities associated with +12 identified by CBA and with a frequency <3% included +8, del13q and t(14;19)(q32;q13).
Abbreviations: FISH, fluorescence in situ hybridization; CBA, chromosome banding analysis.
