Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is one of the fatal haematological malignancies as a consequence of its genetic heterogeneity. At present, the prediction of the clinical response to treatment for AML is based not only on detection of cytogenetic aberrations but also by analysing certain molecular genetic alterations. There are limited in sights into the contribution, disease progression, treatment outcome, and characterisation with respect to the uncommon chromosomal abnormalities leading to AML. Here, we describe the clinical, morphological, cytogenetic, and mutational findings of a 52-year-old female patient with AML without maturation (AML-M1). Conventional karyotyping and spectral karyotyping (SKY) were done on metaphase chromosomes from bone marrow cells at the time of diagnosis. A mutation analysis was performed on the hotspot regions of various genes, including and Cytogenetic and mutation analyses revealed a novel translocation, t(X;2)(q28;p22), with both and mutations. To the best of our knowledge, the presence of both NPM1 and IDH1 mutations in t(X;2)(q28;p22) is a novel finding in AML.
急性髓系白血病(AML)因其基因异质性,是致命的血液系统恶性肿瘤之一。目前,AML治疗临床反应的预测不仅基于细胞遗传学异常的检测,还通过分析某些分子遗传学改变。关于导致AML的罕见染色体异常在疾病进展、治疗结果及特征方面的作用,目前了解有限。在此,我们描述了一名52岁急性髓系白血病未成熟型(AML-M1)女性患者的临床、形态学、细胞遗传学及突变结果。诊断时,对骨髓细胞中期染色体进行了常规核型分析和光谱核型分析(SKY)。对包括 及 等多种基因的热点区域进行了突变分析。细胞遗传学和突变分析揭示了一种新的易位,t(X;2)(q28;p22),同时存在 及 突变。据我们所知,t(X;2)(q28;p22)中同时存在NPM1和IDH1突变在AML中是一个新发现。
