Rearrangements of the mixed-lineage leukemia (MLL) gene have been associated with a poor prognosis in infant acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Previously, MLL translocations involving the CREP-binding protein (CREBBP) gene at chromosome band 16p13.3 have primarily been reported in treatment-related acute myeloid leukemia, after chemotherapy for other primary malignancies using topoisomerase II inhibitors. We report a case of de novo infant ALL with t(11;16)(q23;p13.3). After chemotherapy, this patient developed an acute monoblastic leukemia (M5b) with retention of the t(11;16)(q23;p13.3), indicating that this is a lineage switch of the original leukemic clone. To our knowledge, these findings have not been previously reported.
混合谱系白血病(MLL)基因重排与婴儿急性淋巴细胞白血病(ALL)的不良预后相关。此前,涉及染色体16p13.3带的CREP结合蛋白(CREBBP)基因的MLL易位主要在治疗相关的急性髓系白血病中报道,这些白血病发生在使用拓扑异构酶II抑制剂治疗其他原发性恶性肿瘤之后。我们报告了一例新发的婴儿ALL,其核型为t(11;16)(q23;p13.3)。化疗后,该患者发展为急性单核细胞白血病(M5b),且保留了t(11;16)(q23;p13.3),这表明这是原始白血病克隆的谱系转换。据我们所知,这些发现此前尚未见报道。
