This breakapart probe covers breakpoint regions in the TCL1 (T-cell leukemia) gene cluster on chromosome 14q32 which encompasses TCL1A, TCL1B, and other genes. TCL1 translocations and inversions occur in mature T-cell leukemias including T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia (T-PLL) and adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL). These rearrangements cause gene overexpression due to juxtaposition with TCR-alpha or TCR-beta regulatory elements and contribute to oncogenesis.
