RESUMO
Acquired interstitial loss of all or part of the long arm of human chromosome 5 (5q-) is an anomaly that is seen frequently in patients with preleukemic myelodysplasia and acute myelogenous leukemia. Loss of a critical region of overlap at band 5q31.1 in all of these cases, with various cytogenetic breaks, signifies the existence of a key negative regulator of leukemogenesis. Previous studies have defined the proximal and distal ends of the critical region to reside between the genes for IL9 and EGR1, respectively. In this report, we describe a yeast artificial chromosome contig spanning this myeloid tumor suppressor locus. The combined order of the polymorphic loci is centromere-IL9-(D5S525-D5S558-D5S89-D5S526 -D5S393)-D5S399-D5S396-D5S414-EGR1 and telomere. The physical distance between the IL9 and EGR1 genes is estimated to be < 2.4 Mb. Here we report the utility of these polymorphic loci by detecting a submicroscopic deletion of 5q31; an acute myelogenous leukemia patient with a three-way translocation, t(5;18;17)(q31;p11;q11), as the sole anomaly revealed allele loss of the D5S399 and D5S396 loci.
