Conventional chromosome analysis (CCA) and interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was performed in 42 patients with mantle-cell lymphoma (MCL), with BCL1 rearrangement. The t(11;14)(q13;q32) or 11q abnormalities were detected by CCA in 34 cases, 20 of which had additional aberrations. A normal karyotype was observed in 8 cases. Probes detecting the chromosome aberrations that were observed in at least 3 cases by CCA, ie, +12, 13q14 deletion, and 17p deletion, were used for interphase FISH analysis. FISH detected total or partial +12, 13q14 deletion and 17p- in 28.5%, 52.4%, and 26% of the cases, respectively. The presence of these anomalies was not a function of karyotype complexity. Based on the results of CCA/FISH, three groups of increasing karyotype complexity were recognized: group 1, including 11 patients without detectable aberrations in addition to BCL1 rearrangement; group 2, including 14 patients with 1 to 2 additional anomalies; and group 3, including 17 patients with three or more additional anomalies. Clinical parameters associated with shorter survival were male sex (P =.006) and primary lymph-node involvement compared with primary bone marrow involvement (P =.015). Trisomy 12 was the only single cytogenetic parameter predictive of a poor prognosis (P =.006) and the best prognostic indicator was the derived measure of karyotype complexity (P <.0001), which maintained statistical significance in multivariate analysis (P<.0001). We arrived at the following conclusions: 13q14 deletion occurs at a high incidence in MCL; 17p deletion and total/partial +12 are relatively frequent events in MCL, the latter aberration being associated with a shorter survival; and the degree of karyotype complexity has a strong impact on prognosis in this neoplasia.
