First case of AML with rare chromosome translocations: a case report of twins

BACKGROUND: Leukemia is different from solid tumor by harboring genetic rearrangements that predict prognosis and guide treatment strategy. PML-RARA, RUNX1-RUNX1T1, and KMT2A-rearrangement are common genetic rearrangements that drive the development of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). By contrast, rare...

Sumario:BACKGROUND: Leukemia is different from solid tumor by harboring genetic rearrangements that predict prognosis and guide treatment strategy. PML-RARA, RUNX1-RUNX1T1, and KMT2A-rearrangement are common genetic rearrangements that drive the development of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). By contrast, rare genetic rearrangements may also contribute to leukemogenesis but are less summarized. CASE PRESENTATION: Here we reported rare fusion genes ZNF717-ZNF37A, ZNF273-DGKA, and ZDHHC2-TTTY15 in a 47-year-old AML-M4 patient with FLT3 internal tandem duplication (ITD) discovered by whole genome sequencing (WGS) using the patient’s healthy sibling as a sequencing control. CONCLUSION: This is, to our knowledge, the first case of AML with fusion gene ZNF717-ZNF37A, ZNF273-DGKA, and ZDHHC2-TTTY15.
