Sézary syndrome

Cytogénétique

Chromosome abnormalities, mostly complex karyotypes, are seen in about 50% of patients with MF/SS, and there have only been a few instances of recurrent rearrangements.

- 47% of abnormal karyotype by SKY/FISH (#16382449#)

  • chromosome 10
  • chromosome 6 (deletion)
  • chromosome 3
  • chromosome 7
  • chromosome 9
  • chromosome 17
  • chromosome 19
  • chromosome 1
  • chromosome 12
  • chromosome 8
  • chromosome 11
  • chromosome 13 (deletion)

- recurrent breakpoints

  • 1p32-36 (#16382449#)
  • 6q22-25 (#16382449#)
  • 17p11.2-13 (#16382449#)
  • 10q23-26 (#16382449#)
  • 19p13.3(#16382449#)

- pseudodicentric translocation between the short arms of chromosomes 8 - dic(17;8)(p11.2;p11.2) (#16382449#)
