Abstract
Zusammenfassung
Bei der juvenilen myelomonozytären Leukämie (JMML) handelt es sich um eine myeloproliferative Erkrankung der frühen Kindheit. Bei vielen Patienten lassen sich zugrunde liegende somatische, aber auch konstitutionelle Mutationen in NRAS, KRAS, PTPN11, NF1 und CBL nachweisen. Zur Identifizierung submikroskopischer Veränderungen, die für die leukämische Transformation von Bedeutung sein können, wurden 20 JMML-Proben mittels hochauflösender Oligo-Microarray-basierter komparativer genomischer Hybridisierung (aCGH) untersucht. Bei 2 von 10 Patienten mit submikroskopischen Aberrationen konnte ein nahezu identischer Zugewinn von Chromosom 8 gezeigt werden, der sich in weiteren Untersuchungen als konstitutionelles Mosaik darstellte. Eine Übersicht von 27 Patienten mit einem konstitutionellen Trisomie-8-Mosaik (cT8M) und maligner Neoplasie zeigte, dass es sich meist um myeloische Neoplasien, auch JMML, handelt. Durch unsere Untersuchungen konnte die kritische Region auf Chromosom 8, deren Loci mutmaßlich an der Leukämieentstehung und/oder Progression beteiligt sein können, dramatisch reduziert werden: 8p11.21q11.21. Es bleibt zu klären in welcher Form das partielle Trisomie-8-Mosaik an der Leukämieentstehung beteiligt ist und in welcher Weise dies für verschiedenen Mutationssubtypen der JMML eine Rolle spielt.

Abstract
Juvenile myelomonocytic leukaemia (JMML) is a unique myeloproliferative disorder of early childhood. Frequently, mutations in NRAS, KRAS, PTPN11, NF1 or CBL are found in these patients. Monosomy 7 is the most common cytogenetic aberration. To identify submicroscopic genomic copy number alterations, 20 JMML samples were analysed by comparative genomic hybridization. Ten out of 20 samples displayed additional submicroscopic alterations. In two patients, an almost identical gain of chromosome 8 was identified. In both patients, fluorescence in situ hybridization confirmed a constitutional partial trisomy 8 mosaic (cT8M). A survey on 27 cT8M patients with neoplasms showed that 21 had myeloid malignancies, and five of these had a JMML. Notably, the region gained in our cases is the smallest gain of chromosome 8 reported in cT8M cases with malignancies so far. Our results dramatically reduce the critical region to 8p11.21q11.21 harbouring 31 protein coding genes and two non-coding RNAs, e.g. MYST3, IKBKB, UBE2V2, GOLGA7, FNTA and MIR486--a finding with potential implications for the role of somatic trisomy 8 in myeloid malignancies. Further investigations are required to more comprehensively determine how constitutional partial trisomy 8 mosaicisms may contribute to leukaemogenesis in different mutational subtypes of JMML and other myeloid malignancies.

Abstract
The original description of patients with Russell-Silver syndrome included precocious puberty, the mechanism of which was unclear. We describe a child with a Russell-Silver syndrome-like phenotype who presented with precocious puberty that was associated with hyperplasia of the Sertoli cells. The patient was found to have an immature cryptorchid testicle; hyperplastic Sertoli cells were also aneuploid carrying trisomy 8. This chromosomal abnormality was present in Sertoli cells only and could not be detected in peripheral lymphocytes, tunica vaginalis, or other, normal, testicular tissue. Sertoli cells in culture showed excess aromatization providing an explanation for the rapid advancement of the patient's bone age. We conclude that in a patient with a Russell-Silver syndrome-like phenotype, Sertoli cell hyperplasia was associated with somatic trisomy 8, increased aromatization, and gonadotropin-independent precocious puberty.

Abstract
Constitutional aneuploidies are rare syndromes associated with multiple developmental abnormalities and the alterations in the risk for specific cancers. Acquired somatic chromosomal aneuploidies are the most common genetic aberrations in sporadic cancers. Thus studies of these rare constitutional aneuploidy syndromes are important not only for patient counseling and clinical management, but also for deciphering the mechanisms by which chromosomal aneuploidy affect cancer initiation and progression. Here we review the major constitutional aneuploidy syndromes and suggest some general mechanisms for the associated cancer predisposition.

Abstract
Constitutional trisomy 8 mosaicism (CT8M) in liveborns is typically caused by mitotic non-disjunction and exhibits wide phenotypic variability. By contrast, CT8M due to meiotic errors usually results in miscarriage. We describe a case of CT8M due to a paternal meiosis II non-disjunction error. The patient, a 32-year-old woman, was phenotypically normal except for a history of recurrent aphthous ulcers since childhood and a 4-year history of macrocytosis. The ulcers were refractory to steroids, but responded well to thalidomide. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of CT8M due to meiotic non-disjunction in a phenotypically normal individual.

Abstract
Pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB) is a rare, malignant intrathoracic pediatric tumor. It arises from the lung, pleura, or mediastinum and its pathogenesis and relationship to other pediatric solid tumors is not well understood. In this study, a case of PPB in a 3-year-old girl was studied using a combination of molecular genetic methods and cytogenetics. Molecular analysis of the commonly encountered fusion translocation gene products of pediatric solid tumors failed to detect a rearrangement. Cytogenetic analysis, supplemented by multicolor spectral karyotyping (SKY), identified an unbalanced translocation between chromosomes 1 and X, resulting in additional copies of 1q, an extra copy of Xq, and loss of part of Xp. In addition, trisomy 8 was detected. The identification of new chromosomal alterations and confirmation of previously reported ones in this rare neoplasm helps to improve our understanding of its pathogenesis and association with other pediatric tumors.

Abstract
Uterine leiomyomata are among the most common of human neoplasms and are associated with abnormal uterine bleeding, infertility, and abdominal pain. Uterine leiomyosarcomata are presumed to be the malignant counterpart to uterine leiomyomata and are very rare. Transformation of uterine leiomyoma (ULM) into uterine leiomyosarcoma (ULMS) is yet to be conclusively confirmed, and each type of tumor may represent a distinct genetic entity. We used comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) to evaluate DNA sequence copy-number changes in 12 specimens of ULM and 8 of ULMS. CGH analysis of ULM demonstrated chromosomal imbalances in 8 of 12 (66. 7%) specimens. The most frequent ULM gains were observed at 9q34 (a novel finding) and on chromosome 19. Other ULM imbalances included gains and losses of chromosome 1p, losses on 7q, and gains on 12q. All ULMS specimens demonstrated chromosomal aberrations. Chromosome 1 imbalances were very prominent. The most frequent losses were detected on 14q and 22q. Losses on 14q are rarely seen in other types of leiomyo-sarcoma and may be a distinctive feature of ULMS. Gains on chromosomes 8, 17, and X were observed in half the cases and were accompanied by high-level amplification. Other chromosome arms overrepresented included 12q and 19p. The absence of specific anomalies common to all ULM and ULMS argues against their being benign-malignant counterparts.

Abstract
Uniparental disomy (UPD) is a condition in which diploid individuals possess a chromosome pair from a single parent. In some instances, UPD causes an abnormal phenotype due to imprinting effects, reduction to homozygosity at recessive disease loci, or trisomy mosaicism. Here we report the first account of an individual with apparently nonmosaic complete maternal isodisomy of chromosome 8. This individual was identified during routine genotyping in a genomewide search for type 2 diabetes susceptibility genes, although he does not have diabetes. He is of normal appearance, stature, and intelligence, but there is an unusual history of early onset ileal carcinoid. The discovery of other maternal UPD 8 cases will be necessary to define whether this condition causes a distinct phenotype.

Abstract
Three patients, with constitutional trisomy 8 mosaicism (CT8M), who developed a malignancy are reported. The diagnoses were refractory anaemia, acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, and idiopathic myelofibrosis. In the child with acute leukaemia, the CT8M was diagnosed at birth due to severe dysmorphisms and malformations; the other two patients showed a milder phenotype, and the CT8M was diagnosed only after the finding of trisomy 8 in neoplastic cells. The review of eight similar, previously reported cases and the clinical, cytogenetic, and molecular studies performed in our patients led us to make the following observations: (I) CT8M predisposes to neoplasms, preferentially to myelo- or lymphoproliferative diseases; (2) a gene dosage effect for glutathione reductase in red blood cells was seen in two of our patients; (3) the wide phenotypic variation of CT8M was confirmed: trisomy 8 in neoplastic cells of phenotypically near-normal cases may be misinterpreted as acquired; and (4) molecular studies suggested a postzygotic origin of the trisomy in our three cases, with the supernumerary chromosome being of paternal origin in one case and of maternal origin in the other two. We postulate that the trisomy 8 in neoplasms may often occur by mitotic nondisjunction in an early embryonic multipotent cell and that what is usually interpreted as an acquired trisomy 8 may in fact be CT8M. The constitutional trisomy 8 would act as a pathogenetically important first mutation in multistep carcinogenesis. Whenever trisomy 8 is found in malignancies, the patient should be reevaluated clinically to exclude CT8M, and CT8M patients should be monitored for the possible development of malignancies.

Abstract
A review of the literature reveals numerous clinical case reports, systematic histologic analyses, epidemiologic studies, and large series of tumors showing that subjects with trisomy 8, 9, 13, 18, and 21 have an excess of hematologic and various solid tumors compared to the general population. These tumors more frequently affect particular organs for a given type of trisomy. A large proportion of tumors are observed during fetal and neonatal life, are incompletely developed, and subsequently regress. In older children or even adults, tumors are less frequent, are often found on the same organs as earlier in life, are more aggressive, and do not involute. The mechanism responsible for the development of these neoplasms could be similar to that which generates the malformations in these children and may result from cooperation of the chromosomal abnormality with physiologic growth phenomena, which are particularly active early in life. Trisomic subjects must be carefully followed in order to detect tumors as early as possible and to allow treatment under optimal conditions.

Abstract
Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with chromosome-specific probes was used to study cytogenetic changes in five cases of leiomyosarcoma (LMS) and nine cases of uterine leiomyoma (LM). Biotinylated DNA probes for the centromeric regions of chromosomes 1, 6, 8, 9, 17, and 18, painting probes for chromosomes 1 and 22, and the cosmid probe for chromosome region 21q22.3 were used on nuclei isolated from paraffin blocks. Four of five LMS cases revealed major chromosomal aberrations, while the only case with minor clonal aberrations was subsequently found not to be a typical LMS. The most common numerical aberrations found in the LMS cases were extra copies of chromosome 8 (three of five cases), loss of chromosome 1 (three of five cases), and loss of chromosome 6 (two of five cases). One of two LMS cases studied with a chromosome 1 painting probe demonstrated translocations of chromosome 1. In contrast to LMS, only five of nine uterine LM cases had abnormal clones, and these were smaller than those in LMS. Two LM cases showed 9% tetrasomy 8 with 17 or 20% monosomy 6, and three other cases had monosomy 6 clones in 18-34% of cells. These results indicate that typical LMS is characterized by multiple chromosomal aberrations affecting most of the cells, whereas borderline LMS and LM have fewer affected chromosomes and less clonal involvement.

Abstract
We report the first cytogenetic analysis of a leiomyosarcoma of the sinonasal tract, a rare neoplasm. Karyotypic analysis showed near-triploid and near-tetraploid modal chromosome numbers with extensive structural and numerical aberrations. Three consistent structural changes, including i(6p), der(10)ins(10;1)(q26;q23q44), and der(12)t(1;12)(q11;q24) were observed in most cells. A der(11)t(11;?)(p15;?) was observed in 14 of 20 cells. Clonal structural rearrangements, including i(1q), del(2)(q37), der(3)t(3;?)(p25;?), del(4)(q31), del(7)(q32), der(12)t(12;?)(p12;?), der(15), del(21)(q22), and der(X) were each observed in a few cells. Numerical changes, including trisomies for chromosomes 2-5, 7, 9, 11, 15, 17, 18, and 20 and monosomies 10 and 12 were observed. Comparison of our findings to those of leiomyosarcomas at different sites showed trisomies 7 and 20 and rearrangements of 11p12-p15 and 21q22.
