The authors analyzed the possible occurrence of rearrangements and/or allelic loss of the fas/APO-1 gene in a representative series of human lymphomas, including 101 cases of Hodgkin's disease (HD) and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL). The rationale for this study was double. Chromosome 10 alterations, frequently observed in lymphoma subtypes, encompass the chromosomal localization of fas/APO-1. In addition, Ipr mouse mutants, which present with a generalized lymphoproliferative disease, were shown to exhibit alterations of fas/APO-1 structure and expression. In this retrospective study, the authors performed gene dosage of fas/APO-1 by Southern blots. No fas/APO-1 alterations were observed in the 31 HD cases. Among 70 T-cell and B-cell NHL, allelic loss of fas/APO-1 was observed in three cases. Two cases with different clinical, phenotypic, and histologic presentations showed a rearrangement of fas/APO-1. A third case showed amplification. Thus fas/APO-1 alterations do occur in human lymphomas, although at a relatively low frequency.
