Clinics and Pathology

Disease

Myeloproliferative disease (primary myelofibrosis).

Epidemiology

Only one case to date, a 21-year old male patient (Tanaka et al., 2010).

Prognosis

The patient died 11 months after diagnosis.

Genes Involved and Proteins

Gene name
LYN (LYN proto-oncogene, Src family tyrosine kinase)
Location
8q12.1
Protein description
512 amino acids. LYN contains from N-term to C-Term an SH3 domain (aa 63-123), a SH2 domain (aa 129-226) and a tyrisine kinase domain (aa 247-501). Non-receptor tyrosine kinase. LYN is mainly expressed in hematopoietic cells and is an important regulator of immune homeostasis.
Gene name
ETV6 (ets variant 6)
Location
12p13.2
Protein description
452 amino acids. The ETV6 protein contains from N-term to C-Term a HLH (helix-loop-helix, aa 40-124) domain (also referred to as the pointed or sterile alpha motif domain), responsible for hetero- and homodimerization, an internal domain, involved in the recruitment of a repression complex including NCOR1 (17p12), NCOR2 (12q24.31), SIN3A (15q24.2), and SIN3B (19p13.11), and an ETS domain (aa 339-420), responsible for sequence specific DNA-binding and protein-protein interaction (De Braekeleer et al., 2014).

Description

535 amino acids. The fusion protein is composed of the HLH domain and internal domain of ETV6 (336 N-term amino acids), fused to the tyrosine kinase domain of LYN (199 C-term amino acids).

Oncogenesis

ETV6-LYN is constitutively active: the PNT domain of ETV6 serves as an oligomerization domain and induces the constitutive activation of the tyrosine kinase domain from LYN through autophosphorylation; it directly activates STAT5A (17q21.2) and STAT5B (17q21.2) by phosphorylation, promotes the formation of proliferative colonies, and induces myeloproliferative neoplasms with myelofibrosis (Takeda et al., 2011).
