  • Hypereosinophilic syndrome in a child mosaic for a congenital triplication of the short arm of chromosome 8.
    British journal of haematology, 1997
    Co-Authors: Arne Egesten, Ulf Kristoffersson, Inga Hägerstrand, Stanislaw Garwicz
    Abstract:

    An 11-year-old boy with mental retardation, malformations, and the mosaic Karyotype 47,XY,+i(8p)/46,XY presented with fever, headache and petechiae. Peripheral blood WBC was 190 x 10(9)/l; and contained > 90% mature eosinophils. Cytogenetic analysis of the eosinophils revealed no aberrations except the constitutional Karyotype. The patient was diagnosed as having a hypereosinophilic syndrome. Shortly after initiation of therapy he died from extensive mural thrombi of the heart and thrombi of several other organs. This is the first case of congenital triplication of the short arm of chromosome 8 associated with hypereosinophilic syndrome, suggesting involvement of genes on chromosome 8p in the regulation of eosinopoiesis.

  • Trisomy 2 as the sole chromosomal abnormality in a hepatoblastoma.
    Genes chromosomes & cancer, 1992
    Co-Authors: Georgia Bardi, Sverre Heim, Nils Mandahl, Felix Mitelman, Bertil Johansson, Nikos Pandis, Albert N. Bekassy, Inga Hägerstrand
    Abstract:

    Short-term cultures of a fine-needle aspirate from a hepatoblastoma were analyzed cytogenetically. Trisomy 2 was found as the sole abnormality, yielding the Karyotype 47,XY, + 2/46,XY. Because trisomy for all or part of chromosome 2 has been described, although together with other aberrations, in seven of the 11 hepatoblastomas hitherto reported, the finding of + 2 as the only anomaly in the present case strongly indicates that additional chromosome 2 material is of pathogenetic significance in this tumor type.
