Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a unique disease entity in acute myeloid leukemia, characterized by PML-RARA fusion gene, which is generated by chromosomal translocation t(15;17)(q24;q21). We identified TNRC18-RARA as novel RARA fusion in resembling APL. Our study highlights the importance of combining multiple molecular techniques to characterize and optimally manage APL lacking classic t(15;17)(q24;q12)/PML-RARA fusion.
急性早幼粒细胞白血病(APL)是急性髓细胞白血病中的一种独特疾病实体,其特征在于存在 PML-RARA 融合基因,该基因由染色体易位 t(15;17)(q24;q21)产生。我们鉴定出 TNRC18-RARA 是一种新型的 RARA 融合基因,类似于 APL。我们的研究强调了结合多种分子技术来表征和最佳管理缺乏经典 t(15;17)(q24;q12)/PML-RARA 融合的 APL 的重要性。
