Abstract
OBJECTIVE
To explore the clinical value of immunoglobulin (Ig) and T cell receptor (TCR) gene rearrangement in the diagnosis of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
METHODS
Using the standardized BIOMED-2 multiplex PCR strategy to detect IgH, IgK and TCR in 272 cases of mature B-cell lymphoma, 55 cases of mature T-cell lymphoma, 21 cases of extranodal NK/ T-cell lymphoma, nasal type, and 20 cases of lymphoid tissue reactive hyperplasia.
RESULTS
Among all mature B-cell lymphomas, the sensitivity of Ig gene rearrangement was 91.18% (248/272), IgH and IgK gene rearrangement was 76.47% (208/272) and 75.00% (204/272), respectively, meanwhile the sensitivity of TCRγ rearrangement was 3.68% (10/272). In the 55 cases of mature T-cell lymphoma, the sensitivity of the detection of TCRγ was 76.36% (44/55), at the same time the sensitivity of Ig gene rearrangement was 14.55% (8/55), IgH and IgK gene rearrangement was 7.27% (4/55) and 12.73% (7/55), respectively. In 21 cases of extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma, nasal type, and 20 cases of reactive lymphoid hyperplasia, no gene rearrangement was found in the samples of IgH, IgK and TCR. The sensitivity of gene rearrangement in Ig/TCR in B and T-cell lymphoma was significantly different from that in the control group (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION
The Ig/TCR gene rearrangement of BIOMED-2 multiplex PCR strategy has important auxiliary value in the diagnosis of B/T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma respectively, however, a few B-cell lymphomas may company TCR gene rearrangement as well as a few T-cell lymphomas may accompany Ig gene rearrangement, it must be comprehensively judged with the combination of morphology, immunohistochemistry and clinical features.
