In multiple myeloma, additional copies of chromosome 11 material, reported to confer an unfavorable prognosis, have been found in 20-45% of patients. To assess the incidence and extent of chromosome 11 aberrations, we performed interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization on CD138(+) bone marrow plasma cells of 50 newly diagnosed myeloma patients, using seven locus-specitic probes, for chromosome 11, one for 13q14.3, and a probe set for translocation t(11;14). In 33 of 50 patients, chromosome 11 aberrations were found. Results indicated a marked intraclonal heterogeneity: in 13 patients, trisomy 11; in 10 patients, subclones with trisomy 11 and partial trisomies, 11q coexisted. in 6 patients, only a partial trisomy 11q; and in 6 patients, a tetrasomy or partial tetrasomy 11. The coexistence of subclones with varying extent and copy numbers of chromosome I I material indicates ongoing structural changes and clonal evolution. Hybridization results delineated 11q23 and 11q25 as the most frequently gained regions, which supports a relevant pathogenetic role of genes on 11q23 and 11q25. To confirm the high incidence of 11q23 gains, a further 50 patients (total n = 100) were analyzed for 11q23 and 13q14.3. Myeloma with gains of 11q23 showed a low frequency of deletion 13q14.3 and may prove to be a distinct subgroup of this disease. (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
