This advance is very significant because cytogenetic analysis by traditional methods in domestic dogs is technically difficult and may not conclusively identify all the abnormalities. This success with CMA testing anticipates the potential to discover more cases of canine aneuploidies as this technology becomes part of routine clinical genetic testing. As a whole, extended use of CMA is likely to uncover a wider range of chromosomal abnormalities that cause canine diseases, characterize in more detail the canine karyotype (normal and abnormal), and provide thorough cytogenomic data of an animal model useful to study human diseases. Since the platform developed for CMA that was used also allows mutation analysis for canine gene diseases, this additional technical feature permits a cost-effective and comprehensive genetic testing for diagnosis in only one step.</p>","PeriodicalId":73975,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Association of Genetic Technologists","volume":"48 4","pages":"160-162"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"35258638","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While T-PLL is commonly accompanied by a complex karyotype, there is little analysis on such cases in existing literature and thorough discussions of the less \"characteristic\" cytogenetic mutations are particularly lacking. We present a case study of a 68-year-old male T-PLL patient with marked leukocytosis and a history of T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder. Chromosomal analysis revealed a complex karyotype that included a translocation of both copies of chromosome 14, rearrangements on 9p and 5p, isochromosome 8, deletion 11q, and monosomy 17. Molecular cytogenetic analysis indicated a rearrangement of TRD (14q11.2), loss of the ATM and CDKN2A signals, and gains of the RELN, TES and MYC signals. Many of these mutations have strongly corresponded to poor prognoses in patients with T-PLL and other leukemias, especially when appearing concurrently. However, there are still profound knowledge gaps in our understanding of many genetic aberrations and the significance of marker chromosomes in the context of T-PLL. Considering the lack of consensus on the improvement of patient outcomes in the past two decades as well as the frequency of a complex karyotype in T-PLL, this case study highlights the critical need of continued research efforts in profiling complex cases to provide potential avenues for novel therapeutic targets for T-PLL patients.</p>","PeriodicalId":73975,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Association of Genetic Technologists","volume":"47 1","pages":"16-23"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"25448657","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
