Non-random in vitro 7;14 translocations detected in a routine cytogenetic series. 12 examples and their possible significance

Abstract

This study describes 12 examples of translocations between chromosomes 7 and 14 in short-term peripheral blood lymphocyte cultures from 10 patients investigated in a routine cytogenetic series. Only one constant breakpoint was found on 14q, and chromosome 7 had two constant breakpoints, one on 7p and the other on 7q. The cause and true significance of such nonrandom in vitro chromosome translocations is not known at present, but one may speculate as to their possible indication of heterozygosity for a chromosome instability syndrome and thus a predilection for the development of lymphoid or other malignancy.
