    髓外造血积液(EHE)是与髓外造血有关的极为罕见的现象之一。这是由浆液性积液引起的,包括胸腔积液,可能与血液系统疾病和肿瘤有关。在这里,我们介绍一例81岁男性EHE合并Waldenström巨球蛋白血症(WM)的病例.患者主诉贫血和呼吸困难。胸部X线和计算机断层扫描显示左侧大量胸腔积液,抽吸物显示未成熟的骨髓细胞和巨核细胞浸润,除了淋巴瘤细胞.据我们所知,这是EHE在WM的第一份报告。
    Extramedullary hematopoietic effusion (EHE) is one of the extremely rare phenomena associated with extramedullary hematopoiesis, which is caused by serous effusions, including pleural effusion, and may be related to hematologic disorders and neoplasms. Herein, we present the case of an 81-year-old man with EHE accompanying Waldenström\'s macroglobulinemia (WM). The patient complained of anemia and dyspnea. The chest X-ray and computed tomography showed a massive left pleural effusion, and the aspirates revealed infiltration of the immature myeloid cells and megakaryocytes, in addition to the lymphoma cells. To our knowledge, this is the first report of EHE in WM.

    张力减退是骨骼肌张力减弱的症状,可以是非遗传或遗传综合征的一部分。张力减退,发育迟缓,面部畸形是在许多遗传综合征中观察到的非特异性发现,主要是染色体微缺失和重复。在这里,我们报告了一个严重的张力减退和面部畸形的病例,通过阵列比较基因组杂交(CGH)在6q13q14.3诊断为缺失。最近的基因诊断技术如阵列CGH可以使临床医生更早地诊断染色体异常并提供适当的医疗管理。
    Hypotonia is a symptom of diminished tone of skeletal muscle and can be nongenetic or a part of genetic syndrome. Hypotonia, developmental delay, and facial dysmorphism are nonspecific findings observed in many genetic syndromes mostly in chromosomal microdeletion and duplication. Here we report a case with severe hypotonia and facial dysmorphism, diagnosed with deletion at 6q13q14.3 by array comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) at very early age. Recent genetic diagnostic technologies such as array CGH may enable clinicians to diagnose chromosomal abnormalities earlier and provide appropriate medical management.

    Objective: To study the clinical and cytogenetic characteristics of patients with multiple myeloma harboring 6q deletion, with the aim to determine the impact of 6q deletion on survival. Methods: This study included the retrospective analysis of 382 newly diagnosed patients with multiple myeloma in our hospital from 2014 to 2017 and compared the clinical and cytogenetic characteristics between patients with and without 6q deletion. The log-rank test and the Cox proportional hazards regression model were used to analyze prognostic factors for progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) . Results: Compared to those without 6q, the patients with 6q deletion were older (median age, 63 vs 58 years, P=0.039) , had higher incidence of t (4; 14) (30.4% vs 16.4% , P=0.020) , and higher proportion of complex karyotypes (22.2% vs 5.3% , P=0.001) . Univariate survival analysis using the log-rank test revealed that 6q deletion was associated with shorter PFS. However, by the Cox multivariate proportional hazards regression model, 6q deletion was not an independent prognostic factor and its effect on survival was affected by age, t (4; 14) , and other risk factors. Conclusions: 6q deletion was common in elderly patients with multiple myeloma and was often accompanied by t (4;14) and complex karyotypes. However, 6q deletion was not an independent prognostic factor for multiple myeloma.
    目的: 研究多发性骨髓瘤6q缺失患者的临床特征、细胞遗传学特点,分析6q缺失对患者生存的影响。 方法: 回顾性分析华中科技大学同济医学院附属协和医院2014-2017年新诊断的382例多发性骨髓瘤患者,比较6q缺失患者与非6q缺失患者的临床特征及细胞遗传学特点。并采用Log-rank检验及Cox比例风险回归模型分析影响患者无进展生存(PFS)期和总生存(OS)期的预后因素。 结果: 6q缺失患者与非6q缺失患者比较,中位年龄较高(63岁对58岁,P=0.039),t(4;14)发生率较高(30.4%对16.4%,P=0.020),并伴有更高比例的复杂核型(22.2%对5.3%,P=0.001)。Log-rank单因素生存分析显示,6q缺失与较短的PFS期相关。但在Cox多因素比例风险回归模型中,6q缺失不是独立的预后因素,其对生存期的影响受到年龄、t(4;14)等其他危险因素的影响。 结论: 多发性骨髓瘤中6q缺失多见于高龄患者,常伴随t(4;14)及复杂核型,但6q缺失不是独立预后因素。.

    Deletion of the long arm of chromosome 6 (del6q) is the most frequent cytogenetic abnormality in Waldenström macroglobulinaemia (WM), occurring in approximately 50% of patients. Its effect on patient outcome has not been completely established. We used fluorescence in situ hybridisation to analyse the prevalence of del6q in selected CD19+ bone marrow cells of 225 patients with newly diagnosed immunoglobulin M (IgM) monoclonal gammopathies. Del6q was identified in one of 27 (4%) cases of IgM-monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance, nine of 105 (9%) of asymptomatic WM (aWM), and 28/93 (30%) of symptomatic WM (sWM), and was associated with adverse prognostic features and higher International Prognostic Scoring System for WM (IPSSWM) score. Asymptomatic patients with del6q ultimately required therapy more often and had a shorter time to transformation (TT) to symptomatic disease (median TT, 30 months vs. 199 months, respectively, P < 0·001). When treatment was required, 6q-deleted patients had shorter progression-free survival (median 20 vs. 47 months, P < 0·001). The presence of del6q translated into shorter overall survival (OS), irrespective of the initial diagnosis, with a median OS of 90 compared with 131 months in non-del6q patients (P = 0·01). In summary, our study shows that del6q in IgM gammopathy is associated with symptomatic disease, need for treatment and poorer clinical outcomes.

    BACKGROUND: Non-acrocentric satellited chromosomes mostly result from familial balanced insertions or translocations with p12 or p13 of any acrocentric. Although all non-acrocentrics have been involved, only 12 instances of chromosome 6 involvement are known.
    METHODS: A female infant exhibited clinical features typical of 6qter deletions and also generalized hypertrichosis and synophrys, traits seldom reported in patients with similar imbalances or haploinsufficiency of ARID1B located in 6q25.3. She had a paternal derivative satellited 6q of a t(6;22)(q25.3;p12)pat entailing a 6q terminal deletion, karyotype 46,XX,der(6)t(6;22)(q25.3;p12)pat [16].ish del 6q subtel-.
    CONCLUSIONS: Male and female carriers of reciprocal translocations or insertions between chromosome 6 and the short arm of any acrocentric have few unbalanced offspring mostly by adjacent-1 segregation. In addition, spontaneous abortions or male infertility was present in 7/13 instances of satellited chromosome 6.

    Cancer heterogeneity represents a challenge for the analysis of prognostic molecular markers but can be used to study the evolution of molecular events in tumors. To assess the degree of heterogeneity of 5q21 deletions and their relationship with TMPRSS2:ERG status and 6q15 deletions in prostate cancer, a heterogeneity tissue microarray including 10 tissue spots from 10 different areas of 317 cancers was analyzed by fluorescence in situ hybridization for 5q21 deletion. Data on 6q and ERG were available from earlier studies. Deletions of 5q21 were found in 23% of 265 interpretable cancers and showed marked intratumoral heterogeneity. In the subset of 246 cancers with at least 3 interpretable spots, 23% had a 5q21 deletion. Heterogeneous 5q21 deletions were found in 71% and homogeneous in 29% of these cancers. The likelihood of 5q21 deletion was twice as high in ERG-negative (28%) than in ERG-positive cancers (16%, P = .024). In all 21 cases harboring both alterations, the tumor area containing a 5q21 deletion was smaller or equally large than the ERG-positive area but never larger. Deletions of 5q and 6q were significantly linked. However, the analysis of 32 tumors harboring both deletions did not suggest a specific order of appearance of these deletions. The 5q21 deletion preceded 6q15 in 10 tumors and 6q15 preceded 5q21 in 14 tumors. In summary, our study identifies 5q21 deletion as a highly heterogeneous aberration in prostate cancer that usually occurs late during cancer progression. This is a severe limitation for using 5q21 testing as a prognostic tool.

    Prostate cancer is notorious for its heterogeneity, which poses a problem for the applicability of diagnostic molecular markers. However, heterogeneity analysis can provide valuable information on the chronology in which molecular alterations arise. Here, we constructed a heterogeneity tissue microarray (TMA) comprising samples from 10 different tumor areas of 189 prostate cancers each in order to study the sequence of two frequent molecular alterations, i.e. 6q15 deletion and TMPRSS2:ERG fusion. Previous work shows a marked inverse relationship between these alterations, suggesting that presence of one of these alterations might impact development of the other. 6q15 deletion was analyzed by fluorescence in situ hybridization and ERG-expression by immunohistochemistry. Only 6.6% of 334 ERG-positive but 28.4% of 440 ERG-negative TMA spots showed 6q15 deletions (p < 0.0001). A breakdown of these data to the level of tumor foci revealed 6q deletions in 138 tumor foci that were large enough to have at least 3 analyzable TMA spots. These included 42 tumor foci with homogeneous ERG positivity and 16 with homogeneous 6q15 deletions. Remarkably, six of the 42 homogeneously ERG-positive tumor foci (14.3%) harbored small 6q15-deleted areas, but none of the 34 6q15-deleted foci showed areas of ERG positivity (p = 0.022). In conclusion, our data suggest that ERG-fusion can precede 6q15 deletion, but not vice versa. The complete absence of ERG-positive tumor areas in 6q15-deleted tumor foci further suggest that the functional consequences of 6q15 deletions may prevent the development of TMPRSS2:ERG fusions.

    Deletions of the long arm of chromosome 6 are rare and are characterized by great clinical variability according to the deletion breakpoint. We report a on 6-year-old girl with a de novo 0.63 Mb deletion on chromosome 6q25.1 who demonstrated multiple congenital anomalies including a ventricular septal defect and an underdeveloped cerebellar vermis. She presented with severe pre- and post-natal growth failure, hyperextensible small joints (Beighton scores = 8/9; with normal parental scores), and an abnormally elastic, redundant skin. Abnormally high upper/lower segment ratio (i.e., 1.34 = > 3SD), mild dysmorphic facial features and developmental delay were also present. The girl\'s phenotype was compared with: (i) two girls, each previously reported by Bisgaard et al. and Caselli et al. with similar albeit larger (2.6-7.21 Mb) deletions; (ii) seven additional individuals (6 M; 1 F) harboring deletions within the 6q25.1 region reported in the literature; and (iii) ten further patients (5 M; 4 F; 1 unrecorded sex) recorded in the DECIPHER 6.0 database. We reported on the present girl as her findings could contribute to advance the phenotype of 6q deletions. In addition, the present deletion is the smallest so far recorded in the 6q25 region encompassing eight known genes [vs. 41 of Bisgaard et al., and 23 of Caselli et al.,], including the TAB2 (likely responsible for the girl\'s congenital heart defect), LATS1 gene, and the UST gene (a regulator of the homeostasis of proteoglycans, which could have played a role in the abnormal dermal and cartilage elasticity).
