Abstract
The t(10;14)(q24;q11) is observed in the leukemia cells of 5-10% of cases of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). Recently, molecular analyses of a number of these translocations revealed simple reciprocal translocations between the T-cell receptor delta chain gene (TCRD) and a region of 10q24. We have characterized, at the molecular level, a t(10;14)(q24;q11) in a patient with T-ALL. The translocation in this case, in contrast to the previous cases, is part of a complex genetic rearrangement. In addition to a reciprocal translocation between the D delta 3 gene segment of TCRD and a region of 10q24, a local inversion occurred within TCRD, involving the D delta 2 and V delta 2 gene segments. As a consequence, the entire joining and constant regions and most of the diversity regions of TCRD are located on the derivative 14 chromosome, whereas the joining and constant regions of TCRA are positioned on the derivative 10 chromosome. The chromosome 10 breakpoint in our patient, as in other t(10;14), clusters within a 9 kb breakpoint region. The occurrence of seven breakpoints within a localized region of chromosome 10 implies the existence of a nearby gene whose activation may have conferred a selective advantage on the leukemia cells. Moreover, as in the previous cases, the translocation in the present study exhibits recombination signal sequences or signal-like sequences adjacent to the breakpoint junction. The presence of such motifs suggests the involvement of the recombinase enzyme system in the generation of this genetic alteration.

Abstract
A 3.5-month-old female infant manifesting dysmorphic facies, developmental delay and failure to thrive was referred for cytogenetic evaluation. Peripheral lymphocytes revealed three chromosomally distinct cell lines: 46,XX/46,XX,10p+/47,XX,10p+,+mar. Dermal fibroblasts revealed only the 46,XX,10p+cell line. High resolution G-, R-, and Q-banding suggested that the extra chromosomal material (10p+) represented a duplication of the segment 13q14----13qter. Parental karyotypes were normal. As absolute identification of de novo chromosomal abnormalities, based solely on cytogenetic studies, is sometimes difficult, both biochemical and molecular approaches were undertaken to elucidate this abnormality in more detail. Dosage effects were examined using esterase D (localized to 13q14.1) and the DNA probes p1E8 and p9A7 (localized to 13q22 and 13q31/32, respectively). These studies suggested the presence of only 2 copies of esterase D, but 3 copies of both DNA probes, allowing identification of the breakpoint at 13q14.2.

Abstract
A workshop held by the "Groupe Français de Cytogénétique Hématologique" has identified a t(10;11)(p13-14;q14-21) in four acute lymphoblastic leukemias of T-cell lineage. The immunophenotypes were consistent with immature thymocytes. This translocation is therefore a new candidate for a recurrent translocation in early T-cell leukemia. A similar translocation has been reported as a rare change in early pre-B lymphoid leukemias and also in myeloid leukemias. It is not known whether the similar cytogenetic changes involve different molecular breakpoints or whether the same rearrangement affects a multipotential stem cell capable of lymphoid and myeloid differentiation.

Abstract
Restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) for the anonymous DNA probe OS-2 were studied in a Caucasian population. In a sample of 15 two- and three-generation families and 31 unrelated individuals, the restriction endonuclease TaqI revealed an RFLP not seen in a Japanese sample. A similar situation has been observed for this probe with the restriction endonuclease HindIII.

Abstract
The first CEPH consortium map, that of chromosome 10, is presented. This primary linkage map contains 28 continuously linked loci defined by genotypes generated from CEPH family DNAs with 37 probe and enzyme combinations. Cytogenetic localization of some of the genetic markers indicates that the consortium map extends, at least, from 10p13 to 10q26. The order of loci on the consortium map agrees with the physical localization data. The female map spans 309 cM (206 cM if an approximation of interference is included in the mapping function used to construct the map), and the mean genetic distance of intervals is 11 cM (7 cM). Also presented are maps of chromosome 10 from each of five CEPH collaborating laboratories, based on genotypes for all relevant markers in the CEPH database. The CEPH consortium map of chromosome 10 should be useful for localization of any gene of interest falling within the span covered. The genotypes in the chromosome 10 consortium map database are now available to the scientific community.

Abstract
There are at least three transcriptionally active human ADP/ATP translocase genes. We have isolated seven ADP/ATP translocase pseudogenes from recombinant human genomic libraries. Each pseudogene sequence had more than 85% identity with the sequence of the human ADP/ATP translocase cDNA derived from fibroblast mRNA, but each had mutations that precluded synthesis of a functional protein. Using an intron probe derived from a partial clone of the human fibroblast ADP/ATP translocase gene, we localized the gene to chromosome Xq13----Xq25-26. The gene encoding the skeletal muscle translocase has previously been shown to be on chromosome 4. Therefore, the human ADP/ATP translocase genes are members of a multigene family that includes pseudogenes and has been dispersed to at least two chromosomes.

Abstract
We have used X-ray irradiation and cell fusion to generate somatic cell hybrids containing fragments of human chromosome 10. Our experiments were directed towards isolating the region of the MEN2A gene in hybrids and to use those as the source of DNA for cloning and mapping new markers from near the MEN2A locus. A number of hybrid clones containing human sequences that are tightly linked to the MEN2A gene were identified. Some 25% of our hybrids, however, proved to contain more than one human chromosome 10-derived fragment or showed evidence of deletions and/or rearrangements. A detailed analysis of the human content of X-ray irradiation hybrids is required to assess the integrity and number of human fragments retained. Despite retention of multiple human-derived fragments, these hybrids will prove useful as cloning and mapping resources.

Abstract
The inherited cancer syndrome multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A (MEN2A) has recently been mapped to chromosome 10. We have typed 29 families with this disorder with DNA markers from the pericentromeric region of chromosome 10. Two markers, RBP3 and MCK2, were tightly linked to the MEN2A gene at recombination fractions of less than 3%. Multipoint analysis of the linkage data suggests that the gene is located within a 3-cM interval defined by the markers RBP3/MCK2 on one side and TB14.34 on the other. No evidence for locus heterogeneity was detected in any of the 27 families from 14 countries who were informative for the markers tested. The data confirm and refine the original assignment and provide the basis for presymptomatic screening for this disorder.

Abstract
A family is described in which the mother's four pregnancies resulted in one spontaneous abortion, one healthy boy, and a male and female sib with developmental delay and multiple minor dysmorphic features. Chromosome analysis showed a large pericentric inversion of chromosome 10, involving the region between bands p15.1 and q25.2, in the father and the healthy son: 46,XY,inv(10) (p15.1q25.2), and an unbalanced karyotype in the two affected sibs: rec(10),dup p,inv(10) (p15.1q25.2). The unbalanced chromosome has been produced by meiotic recombination between the inversion chromosome and its normal homologue. The two affected sibs have partial duplication of 10p and partial deficiency of 10q, and share a large number of clinical features, several of which have previously been described in both of these chromosome imbalances. We believe this to be the largest pericentric inversion of chromosome 10 reported to have produced recombinant offspring.

Abstract
In MEN2A both familial and sporadic cases are known. The familial cases show a dominant pattern of inheritance. In these respects, MEN2A resembles other tumors in whose etiology so-called tumor suppressor genes play a decisive role. The MEN2A locus has been assigned to chromosome 10 by linkage studies. Analysis of tumor DNA from 42 patients shows that markers on chromosome 10 were lost in only one tumor. Thus, these results contrast with previous studies which show that tumor development is generally associated with the loss of the whole or substantial parts of the chromosome on which the putative tumor suppressor gene is located.

Abstract
The gene coding for the alpha 1 chain of human type XIII collagen. COL13A1, is assigned to chromosome region 10q11----qter by Southern blot hybridization of DNA from 24 human x rodent somatic cell hybrids using a cloned cDNA as probe. A number of previous reports indicate that 10 of the collagen genes are located on six autosomes, but no other collagen genes have been found on chromosome 10. The data therefore provide further evidence for the dispersion of members of the collagen gene family throughout the genome.

Expression of this fragile site in both bone marrow and leukocytes was enhanced by bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU), while folic-acid-deficient medium enhanced the expression of fra(10)(q25) only in leukocytes. Variability in the expression of fra(10)(q25) in bone marrow and leukocyte cultures over an 18-month period was also found.

Abstract
Meiotic segregation products were studied in sperm from a man who was heterozygous for a reciprocal translocation, t(9;10)(q34;q11). A total of 171 sperm chromosome complements were studied by in vitro fertilization of hamster eggs. All possible 2:2 and 3:1 meiotic segregations were observed with the following frequencies: alternate, 41%; adjacent-1, 48%; adjacent-2, 5%; 3:1, 6%. Within alternate segregations, the number of normal sperm (35) was not significantly different from the number of sperm carrying a balanced form of the translocation (33), as expected. The proportion of sperm with an unbalanced form of the translocation was 60%. There was no evidence for an interchromosomal effect, since the frequencies of numerical (8%) and structural (15%) chromosomal abnormalities (both unrelated to the translocation) were within the normal range of control donors. The literature on a total of 10 translocation heterozygotes studied by sperm chromosome analysis was reviewed.

Abstract
Incontinentia pigmenti (IP) is a genetic disease that is usually lethal in males. We report finding an X;10 translocation in a girl with IP. Three other X/autosome translocations have been observed in females with IP: two involving chromosome 9 and one involving chromosome 17. The breakpoint in all four cases in the X chromosome was in band Xp11. The IP gene locus can therefore be confidently assigned to the X chromosome and, specifically, to band Xp11. The IP gene is most likely to subband Xp11.2. We propose that IP may prove to be a submicroscopic deletion.

Abstract
Human leukemic T cells carrying a t(10;14)(q24;q11) chromosome translocation were fused with mouse leukemic T cells, and the hybrids were examined for genetic markers of human chromosomes 10 and 14. Hybrids containing the human 10q+ chromosome had the human genes for terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase that has been mapped at 10q23-q25 and for C alpha [the constant region of TCRA (the alpha-chain locus of the T-cell antigen receptor gene)], but not for V alpha (the variable region of TCRA). Hybrids containing the human 14q- chromosome retained the V alpha genes. Thus the 14q11 breakpoint in the t(10;14) chromosome translocation directly involves TCRA, splitting the locus in a region between the V alpha and the C alpha genes. These results suggest that the translocation of the C alpha locus to a putative cellular protooncogene located proximal to the breakpoint at 10q24, for which we propose the name TCL3, results in its deregulation, leading to T-cell leukemia. Since hybrids with the 10q+ chromosome also retained the human terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase gene, it is further concluded that the terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase locus is proximal to the TCL3 gene, at band 10q23-q24.
