Deletions of the 13q14 chromosome region are associated with B-cell
chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) and several other types of cancer,
suggesting the presence of a tumor suppressor gene. In previous studies
the minimal region of deletion (MDR) was mapped to a less than
300-kilobase (kb) interval bordered by the markers 173a12-82 and
138G4/1.3R. For the identification of the putative tumor suppressor
gene, the entire MDR (approximately 347 kb) has been sequenced, and
transcribed regions have been identified by exon trapping, EST-based
full-length complementary DNA cloning, database homology searches, and
computer-assisted gene prediction analyses. The MDR contains 2 pseudogenes and 3 transcribed genes: CAR, encoding
a putative RING-finger containing protein; 1B4/Leu2,
generating noncoding transcripts; and EST70/Leu1, probably
representing another noncoding gene (longest open reading frame of 78 codons). These genes have been sequenced in 20 B-CLL cases with 13q14
hemizygous deletion, and no mutations were found. Moreover, no somatic
variants were found in the entire MDR analyzed for nucleotide
substitutions by a combination of direct sequencing and
fluorescence-assisted mismatch analysis in 5 B-CLL cases displaying 13q14-monoallelic deletion. The nondeleted allele of the
CAR and EST70/Leu1 genes was expressed in B-CLL
specimens, including those with monoallelic loss, whereas no expression
of 1B4/Leu2 was detectable in B-CLL, regardless of
the 13q14 status. These results indicate that allelic loss and
mutation of a gene within the MDR is an unlikely pathogenetic mechanism
for B-CLL. However, haplo-insufficiency of one of the identified genes
may contribute to tumorigenesis.
