Acute megakaryoblastic leukemia (AMKL) is a rare disease, occurring mostly in infants and young children. The chromosomal translocation t(1;22)(p13;q13), resulting in the RBM15-MKL1 fusion gene, is a recurrent and diagnostic translocation in infants with AMKL. The present case report describes a case of a newborn girl, without Down's syndrome, with congenital AMKL. At birth, the infant had hepatosplenomegaly and the peripheral blood count revealed anemia, thrombopenia and leukocytosis, with 28% blasts. Immunophenotyping demonstrated blasts positive for CD34, CD61 and CD42b. Karyotyping of these blasts (R-banding) showed a hitherto unreported chromosomal translocation, t(1;7;22)(p13;q21;q13), a 3-way variant of the t(1;22)(p13;q13) variant. Fluorescent hybridization analysis confirmed the presence of the RBM15-MKL1 fusion gene.
急性巨核细胞白血病(AMKL)是一种罕见疾病,主要发生于婴幼儿。染色体易位t(1;22)(p13;q13)导致RBM15-MKL1融合基因的产生,这是婴幼儿AMKL中一种常见的诊断性易位。本病例报告描述了一名无唐氏综合征的先天性AMKL新生儿女孩的病例。出生时,该婴儿有肝脾肿大,外周血细胞计数显示贫血、血小板减少和白细胞增多,原始细胞占28%。免疫表型分析显示原始细胞CD34、CD61和CD42b呈阳性。这些原始细胞的核型分析(R显带)显示了一种迄今未报道的染色体易位,t(1;7;22)(p13;q21;q13),即t(1;22)(p13;q13)变异体的一种三向变体。荧光杂交分析证实了RBM15-MKL1融合基因的存在。
