The recurring chromosomal 9;11 translocation [t(9;11) (p22;q23)] typically is associated with acute monoblastic leukemia, but a number of patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia also have been reported to have the t(9;11). To investigate the cell lineage in the latter cases, we analyzed DNA from the leukemic cells of an 8-year-old girl with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and a t(9;11) for rearrangements of the immunoglobulin and T-cell receptor genes. Rearrangements of both immunoglobulin heavy-chain loci and of one lambda light-chain gene were detected, as well as deletions affecting both alleles of the kappa light-chain genes; T-cell receptor genes were in germline configuration. These results provide further evidence that the 9;11 translocation is not limited to myeloid lineage leukemia and may be observed in acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

D002648 Child A person 6 to 12 years of age. An individual 2 to 5 years old is CHILD, PRESCHOOL. Children
D002872 Chromosome Deletion Actual loss of portion of a chromosome. Monosomy, Partial,Partial Monosomy,Deletion, Chromosome,Deletions, Chromosome,Monosomies, Partial,Partial Monosomies
D002880 Chromosomes, Human, Pair 11 A specific pair of GROUP C CHROMOSOMES of the human chromosome classification. Chromosome 11
D002899 Chromosomes, Human, Pair 9 A specific pair of GROUP C CHROMSOMES of the human chromosome classification. Chromosome 9
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D005260 Female Females
D005803 Genes, Immunoglobulin Genes encoding the different subunits of the IMMUNOGLOBULINS, for example the IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAIN GENES and the IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAIN GENES. The heavy and light immunoglobulin genes are present as gene segments in the germline cells. The completed genes are created when the segments are shuffled and assembled (B-LYMPHOCYTE GENE REARRANGEMENT) during B-LYMPHOCYTE maturation. The gene segments of the human light and heavy chain germline genes are symbolized V (variable), J (joining) and C (constant). The heavy chain germline genes have an additional segment D (diversity).
