Abstract
Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is one subtype of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) primarily associated with the typical fusion gene PML::RARA/t(15;17). A small percentage of APL cases are caused by atypical gene transcript variants lacking the PML::RARA. We report one case with two novel NUP98::RARA fusion transcripts in APL lacking the fusion gene PML::RARA/t(15;17). These NUP98::RARA fusion transcripts were identified using next-generation sequencing (NGS), which were confirmed by Sanger sequencing. One of the transcripts differs from the previously reported transcript in terms of break sites and transcript length, which identified as subtype of NUP98::RARA fusion transcript. The other one is the same as previously reported, demonstrating reproducible abnormality of this fusion gene. The patient was treated with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), realgar-Indigo naturalis formula (RIF) and chemotherapy. According to the published paper, this is the second report of NUP98::RARA fusion transcript in APL. It is also the first variant APL with der(11)(p15)t(11;17)(p15;q21) and i(17)(q10) chromosome abnormalities. Therefore, we compared and summarized these two cases.
期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Cancer Research (AJCR) (ISSN 2156-6976), is an independent open access, online only journal to facilitate rapid dissemination of novel discoveries in basic science and treatment of cancer. It was founded by a group of scientists for cancer research and clinical academic oncologists from around the world, who are devoted to the promotion and advancement of our understanding of the cancer and its treatment. The scope of AJCR is intended to encompass that of multi-disciplinary researchers from any scientific discipline where the primary focus of the research is to increase and integrate knowledge about etiology and molecular mechanisms of carcinogenesis with the ultimate aim of advancing the cure and prevention of this increasingly devastating disease. To achieve these aims AJCR will publish review articles, original articles and new techniques in cancer research and therapy. It will also publish hypothesis, case reports and letter to the editor. Unlike most other open access online journals, AJCR will keep most of the traditional features of paper print that we are all familiar with, such as continuous volume, issue numbers, as well as continuous page numbers to retain our comfortable familiarity towards an academic journal.
