Nonrandom chromosome changes in Kaposi sarcoma: cytogenetic and FISH results in a new cell line (KS-IMM) and literature review.

The karyotype of a new tumorigenic Kaposi sarcoma (KS)-derived cell line, as defined by cytogenetic and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis is 49,XY,i(1)(q10),i(7)(p10),+i(7) (q10),+der(8)t(8;13)(p11;q11),-13,+del(14)(q22),+der(17)t(1;17)(p13;p13). Our aim was to point out some characteristics and recurrent chromosome changes probably playing a relevant role in the malignant progression of KS, by a comparison of the cytogenetic results obtained in the present study with data from the literature. The interpretation of the cytogenetic results is that KS development occurs by multiple steps: an initial reactive polyclonal cell proliferation is associated with chromosome instability; the cells in a later stage acquire clonal chromosome changes. If many chromosome changes are present, particularly 8q and 1q trisomy, 3p14-->pter deletion, 1p13, 13p14.3, 7q22, 8p11, 13q11, and 19q13 band rearrangements, KS acquires a neoplastic aggressive state.

Atlas of Genetics and Cytogenetics in Oncology and Haematology, updated.

The 'Atlas of Genetics and Cytogenetics in Oncology and Haematology' (http://www.infobiogen.fr/services/chromcancer) is an Internet database aimed at genes involved in cancer, cytogenetics and clinical entities in cancer, and cancer-prone diseases. It presents information in concise and updated reviews (cards) or longer texts (deep insights), a (new) case report section, a huge portal towards genetics and/or cancer databases, and teaching items in genetics for students in medicine and the sciences. This database is made for and by clinicians and researchers in the above-mentioned fields, who are encouraged to contribute. It deals with cancer research, genomics and cytogenomics. It is at the crossroads of research, post-university teaching and telemedicine. The Atlas is available at no cost.

HC Forum: a web site based on an international human cytogenetic database.

Familial structural rearrangements of chromosomes represent a factor of malformation risk that could vary over a large range, making genetic counseling difficult. However, they also represent a powerful tool for increasing knowledge of the genome, particularly by studying breakpoints and viable imbalances of the genome. We have developed a collaborative database that now includes data on more than 4100 families, from which we have developed a web site called HC Forum (http://HCForum.imag.fr). It offers geneticists assistance in diagnosis and in genetic counseling by assessing the malformation risk with statistical models. For researchers, interactive interfaces exhibit the distribution of chromosomal breakpoints and of the genome regions observed at birth in trisomy or in monosomy. Dedicated tools including an interactive pedigree allow electronic submission of data, which will be anonymously shown in a forum for discussions. After validation, data are definitively registered in the database with the email of the sender, allowing direct location of biological material. Thus HC Forum constitutes a link between diagnosis laboratories and genome research centers, and after 1 year, more than 700 users from about 40 different countries already exist.
