BACKGROUND/AIM: Fusions of the ABL proto-oncogene 1 gene (ABL1 in 9q34) are common in leukemias but rare in solid tumors. The most notable is the t(9;22)(q34;q11)/BCR-ABL1 coding for a chimeric tyrosine kinase. We herein report an ABL1-fusion in a pediatric tumor.
G-banding, fluorescence in situ hybridization, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and Sanger sequencing were performed on a soft tissue perineurioma found in the left musculus erector spinae of a child.
A der(4)t(4;9)(q31;q34) and a fusion of the GRB2 associated binding protein 1 (GAB1 in 4q31) gene with ABL1 were found. A literature search revealed 3 more cases with similar genetic and clinicopathological characteristics: a soft tissue perineurioma with t(2;9;4)(p23;q34;q31) and ABL1 rearrangement, a soft tissue angiofibroma with a GAB1-ABL1 chimeric gene, and a solitary fibrous tumor carrying a der(4)t(4;9)(q31.1;q34).
GAB1-ABL1 is a recurrent fusion gene in benign pediatric tumors.
背景/目的:ABL 原癌基因 1 融合基因(9q34 上的 ABL1)在白血病中常见,但在实体瘤中罕见。最显著的是 t(9;22)(q34;q11)/BCR-ABL1,编码嵌合酪氨酸激酶。本文报道了儿科肿瘤中的 ABL1 融合。
对儿童左竖脊肌内发现的软组织神经鞘瘤进行 G 带、荧光原位杂交、逆转录聚合酶链反应和 Sanger 测序。
发现了一个 der(4)t(4;9)(q31;q34) 和 GRB2 相关结合蛋白 1(4q31 上的 GAB1)基因与 ABL1 的融合。文献检索显示,还有 3 例具有类似遗传和临床病理特征的病例:软组织神经鞘瘤伴 t(2;9;4)(p23;q34;q31)和 ABL1 重排、软组织血管纤维瘤伴 GAB1-ABL1 嵌合基因、孤立性纤维瘤携带 der(4)t(4;9)(q31.1;q34)。
GAB1-ABL1 是良性儿科肿瘤中常见的融合基因。
