Species:
human (Homo sapiens)
Cell type:
anaplastic large cell lymphoma
Origin:
derived from the cerebrospinal fluid of a 5-year-old girl with refractory malignant histiocytosis; described in the literature to carry the typical t(2;5)(p23;q35) leading to the NPM1-ALK (NPM-ALK) fusion gene and to express CD30, defining the cells as anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL). Exome and RNA sequence data are available (see Ref 18187 and
Exome sequence and
RNA-Seq)

Authenticity:
STR analysis according to the global standard ANSI/ATCC ASN-0002.1-2021 (2021) resulted in an authentic STR profile of the reference STR database.
Cytogenetics:
human flat-moded near-diploid karyotype with 3.5% polyploidy - 44-50<2n>XX/XXX, +1, +7, +8, add(X)(q26), der(X;7)(q10;p10), add(1)(q21), der(1)(1pter->q43::1q43->q21::9q31->qter), t(2;5)(p23;q35), der(6)t(6;6)(q27;p11), add(9)(q31), add(11)(q24)/der(11)t(4;11)(?q34;q24), del(19)(q13.2) - extensive subclonal changes incl. dicentric t(1;1) - carries t(2;5) effecting NPM1-ALK (NPM-ALK) fusion - resembles published karyotype
Molec. Genetics:
