DETECTION OF t(14; 18) CHROMOSOMAL TRANSLOCATION IN PARAFFIN-EMBEDDED HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA TISSUE BY IN SITU PCR

摘要

Objective: To understand the relationship between (14; 18) chromosomal translocation and hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods: Semi-nested in situ PCR (SNISPCR) technique was used to detected bcl-2/JH fusion gene in 40 cases of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Results: Bcl-2/JH fusion gene was detected in 10 of 40 HCC. There were no significant differences in bcl-2/JH fusion formation between histopathological grades and metastases (P＞0.05). Conclusion: By detecting bcl-2 fusion gene in HCC, we think that t(14;18) chromosomal translocation is not a specific change in lymphoma, t(14; 18) chromosomal translocation may not an important cause in pathologensis of HCC.
