[Clinical Characteristics and Prognosis of 125 Hematopathy Patients with Abnormality of Chromosome 3].

Objective: To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of hematopathy patients with chromosome 3 abnormality.

Methods: The clinical data of the 125 hematopathy patients with chromosome 3 abnormality in our hospital from January 2011 to June 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. The conventional karyotype analysis was performed by R-banding. According to the main genetic abnormalities, the patients were divided into 3 group: group with 3q abnormality, 3p abnormality and +3/-3.

Results: Among 3 kinds of gene abnormality 3q abnormality was the most common one, followed by +3 and 3p abnormality. No significant differences were found in age, sex, WBC, Plt count and Hb level all in each group (P＞0.05). Among the 125 patients, 42 patients died without treatment or abandoned treatment, and 83 patients received more than 2 courses of treatment. The 2-year overall survival (OS) rate in the three groups was 30.25%, 43.0% and 58.7% respectively. The 2-year OS rate in the 3q abnormal group was significantly lower than that in the +3/-3 group (P=0.041). Among the 3q abnormality, the detection rate of the patients with 3q21/3q26 locus abnormality was the highest, and their 2-year OS rate (41.1%) was higher than that in other 3q locus abnormality (11.1%) (P=0.044).

Conclusion: Hematopathy patients with chromosome 3 abnormality, especially 3q abnormality often show a poor prognosis, however, 3q abnormality involving 3q21/3q26 locus indicates a better prognosis relatively.
