Description

Translocation t(14;19)(q32;q13.3): IGH/BCL3 It should not be confused with the t(14;19) rearrangement found in B-ALL involving the same breakpoints but targeting IGH and CEBPA.

Tumor Types

Chronic Lymphoid Leukemia (CLL), atypical CLL, transformed CLL

Prevalence

t(14;19) is a rare but recurrent translocation associated with CLL. [needs a specific figure]

Genes Involved

The translocation involves IGH (14q32) and BCL3 (19q13.3). The chromosome 14 breakpoint is in the immunoglobulin heavy chain gene locus (IGH) (often in the switch alpha region) and the 19 breakpoint is located within the 5' region of the BCL3 gene. The translocation results in a head to head juxtaposition of BCL3 and IGH. The translocation does not interrupt the transcriptional integrity of BCL3, but is associated with increased production of a BCL3 RNA.

Variants

Known variants are: t(2;19)(p12;q13) IGK/BCL3 and t(19;22)(q13;q11) BCL3/IGL,

Diagnostic Testing

None noted

Clinical Significance

The t(14;19) is rarely the sole cytogenetic aberration and this translocation is often a secondary finding associated with progression/transformation of CLL and a poor prognosis. Trisomy 12 has been reported in many cases (~50%); other additional findings include deletions of 6q, 7q, 13q and 17p and structural aberrations involving 1q, 3p, 3q, 6p, 7q, 11q, 12p.Most cases exhibit atypical morphology and immunostaining, but the best-fit diagnosis is CLL.
