A novel NUP98/RARG gene fusion in acute myeloid leukemia resembling acute promyelocytic leukemia.
Chromosomal translocations in hematological malignancies often result in novel fusion chimeric genes. We report a case of acute myeloid leukemia with a clonal translocation t(11;12)(p15;q13) displaying morphologic and immunophenotypic features resembling the classical hypergranular subtype of acute promyelocytic leukemia. The gene fused to NUP98 (nucleoporin 98) was detected by comparative geno...
متن کاملAcute myeloid leukemia pretreated with filgrastim mimicking acute promyelocytic leukemia.
A 66-year-old man with a history of hepatitis C virus and liver transplantation presented to the emergency department for shortness of breath. He had received weekly filgrastim for chronic neutropenia, and immediately before admission he had received 3 days of filgrastim and 1 day of pegfilgrastim. A hemogram showed a white blood cell count of 4.54 K/mL with 23% blastic cells. Emergent bone mar...
متن کاملAcute myeloid leukemia and acute promyelocytic leukemia.
The therapeutic approach to the patient with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) currently evolves toward new frontiers. This is particularly apparent from the entree of high-throughput diagnostic technologies and the identification of prognostic and therapeutic targets, the introduction of therapies in genetically defined subgroups of AML, as well as the influx of investigational approaches and novel...
متن کاملAcute Myeloid Leukemia Mimicking as Acute Megakaryoblastic Leukemia
Down syndrome or constitutional trisomy 21 was linked to leukemia for the first time in a case report published in 1930 since then, down syndrome has been recognized as one of the most important leukemia – predisposing syndromes and patients with down syndrome and leukemia have unique clinical features and significant differences in treatment response toxicity profiles compared to patients with...
متن کاملGeographic Heterogeneity of the AML1-ETO Fusion Gene in Iranian Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Background: The human AML1 gene, located on chromosome 21, can be fused to the AML1- eight-twenty-one (ETO) oncoprotein on chromosome eight, resulting in a t(8;21)(q22;q22) translocation. Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) associated with this translocation is considered a distinct AML with a favorable prognosis. Due to the various incidences of the translocation, which is associated with geographic ...
