Through a combined approach integrating RNA-Seq, SNP-array, FISH and PCR techniques, we identified two novel t(15;21) translocations leading to the inactivation of RUNX1 and its partners SIN3A and TCF12. One is a complex t(15;21)(q24;q22), with both breakpoints mapped at the nucleotide level, joining RUNX1 to SIN3A and UBL7-AS1 in a patient with myelodysplasia. The other is a recurrent t(15;21)(q21;q22), juxtaposing RUNX1 and TCF12, with an opposite transcriptional orientation, in three myeloid leukemia cases. Since our transcriptome analysis indicated a significant number of differentially expressed genes associated with both translocations, we speculate an important pathogenetic role for these alterations involving RUNX1.
通过整合RNA测序、单核苷酸多态性阵列、荧光原位杂交和聚合酶链反应技术的联合方法,我们鉴定出两种导致RUNX1及其伙伴SIN3A和TCF12失活的新型t(15;21)易位。一种是复杂的t(15;21)(q24;q22),两个断点均在核苷酸水平定位,在一名骨髓增生异常患者中使RUNX1与SIN3A和UBL7-AS1相连。另一种是复发性t(15;21)(q21;q22),在三例髓系白血病病例中使RUNX1和TCF12并列,转录方向相反。由于我们的转录组分析表明大量差异表达基因与这两种易位相关,我们推测这些涉及RUNX1的改变具有重要的致病作用。
