case_images: (a) Jumping translocations of 1q observed in the three patients. The jumping translocation in each cell lineage is shown inside a circle. Arrow points to an additional rearrangement evolved in a cell lineage. (b) Epigenetic alterations in the formation of jumping translocations of 1q. Hypomethylation of 1q12 pericentric heterochromatin induced chromatin decondensation, triradial formation, and break-off of 1q donor segment. Loss of telomeric function by variant telomeric repeats and shortened telomeres produced instable recipient chromosomes. The successive fusions between break-off donor segment and recipient chromosomes resulted in clonal abnormalities with cell linages sharing gains of donor chromosome segment.
