We introduce a 78-year-old woman presented with thrombocytosis and high blast count who had a history of splenectomy. Her cytogenetic analysis revealed aberrant chromosomal rearrangements in different clonal populations harboring 46XX karyotype with t(9;22) (q34;q11). RT-PCR assay detected the e1a2 BCR-ABL translocation resulting from rearrangement of the minor breakpoint cluster region (m-bcr) in BCR gene. Subsequent evaluation of the disease showed calreticulin (CALR) 52-bp deletion as well as the absence of JAK2 (V617F) heterozygous mutation in granulocyte population of peripheral blood using allele-specific PCR and bi-directional DNA sequencing. To our knowledge, this is the first case of a patient initially diagnosed as p190 BCR-ABL transcript positive CML in blast crisis characterized by a 52-bp deletion in CALR gene.
我们介绍一位78岁女性,有脾切除史,出现血小板增多症和高原始细胞计数。她的细胞遗传学分析显示,具有46XX核型伴t(9;22)(q34;q11)的不同克隆群体中存在异常染色体重排。逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)检测发现,BCR基因中微小断点簇区域(m-bcr)重排导致e1a2 BCR-ABL易位。对该疾病的后续评估显示,使用等位基因特异性PCR和双向DNA测序,外周血粒细胞群体中存在钙网蛋白(CALR)52碱基对缺失以及JAK2(V617F)杂合突变缺失。据我们所知,这是首例最初被诊断为p190 BCR-ABL转录本阳性、处于急变期且CALR基因有52碱基对缺失的慢性粒细胞白血病患者。
