Immunoglobulin-Gene Rearrangements as Unique Clonal Markers in Human Lymphoid Neoplasms

Abstract

Immunoglobulin genes in their germ-line form are separated DNA subsegments that must be joined by means of recombinations during B-cell development. Individual immunoglobulin-gene rearrangements are specific for a given B cell and its progeny. We show that the detection of such gene rearrangements by Southern hybridization provides a sensitive marker for both clonality and B-cell lineage within lymphoid tissues lacking expression of definitive surface phenotypes. We have used these genetic markers in three ways: to establish a diagnosis of lymphoma in a neoplastic disorder of uncertain cell type, to show that some lymphomas that were previously classified as being of T-cell type in fact contain monoclonal B cells, and to detect clonal B-cell populations within lymphomatous tissues of uncertain immunotype and within an atypical lymphofollicular hyperplasia having no other clonal surface markers. These sensitive and unique indicators of clonality located directly at the DNA level are capable of providing insights into the cellular origin, early detection, and natural history of neoplasia.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
