Predominance of fetal type DJH joining in young children with B precursor lymphoblastic leukemia as evidence for an in utero transforming event.

The presence of N sequences in the complementarity determining region 3 (CDR3) of the rearranged immunoglobulin H chain is developmentally regulated: N regions are generally present in the DJH joinings of adult B cells but are often absent in fetal B cells. Analysis of the CDR3 in 61 B precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemias indicated that 87.5% of the leukemias obtained from children < or = 3 yr old lacked N regions at the DJH junction. In contrast, in children > 3 yr old, only 11.1% of the leukemias lacked N regions at this junction, a frequency similar to what we have observed in B cells from children and adults. These findings suggest that the majority of leukemias presenting within the first 3 yr of age arise from an in utero transforming event.[1]
