Biopsy samples from seven patients with Hodgkin's disease (HD) were examined for cytogenetic abnormalities and rearrangement of the genes encoding the immunoglobulin chains and T-cell receptor chains. Three samples demonstrated clonal rearrangements of both IgH and IgL genes. No rearrangements of the TCR beta genes were detected in any of the samples. Karyotypic abnormalities were also found but only in the three cases where a clonal rearrangement of the immunoglobulin genes was shown. Two of these three cases had multiple karyotypic abnormalities, with the remaining patient being trisomic for chromosome 16 as the sole abnormality. These results are discussed and compared with previous reports in the literature concerning HD.

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).

D006689 Hodgkin Disease A malignant disease characterized by progressive enlargement of the lymph nodes, spleen, and general lymphoid tissue. In the classical variant, giant usually multinucleate Hodgkin's and REED-STERNBERG CELLS are present; in the nodular lymphocyte predominant variant, lymphocytic and histiocytic cells are seen.
