The t(1;14)(p34;q11) is nonrandom and restricted to T-cell acute
lymphoblastic leukemia: a Pediatric Oncology Group study

We report the nonrandom occurrence, frequency, and degree of
immunophenotype association of the t(1;14)(p34;q11) in children with acute
lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). This chromosomal abnormality occurred in
leukemia cells from 5 of 1,630 (0.3%) consecutive children with newly
diagnosed ALL who were entered on a single Pediatric Oncology Group
classification study (POG 8600) between January 1986 and February 1989. The
frequency of the t(1;14) was 3% (5 of 168 cases) in children with T-cell
ALL. All five cases had pseudodiploid karyotypes, and in 3 cases the
t(1;14) was accompanied by a deletion of the long arm of chromosome 6. This
translocation is of special interest because the breakpoint on chromosome
14 in band q11 corresponds to the assigned locus of the T-cell receptor
alpha/delta chain gene. All five of our patients and three cases reported
previously have had T-cell ALL. These findings, considered together,
suggest that this translocation is specific for T-cell ALL and that a gene
in the 1p34 region may play an important role in malignant transformation
of thymocytes.
