Clinics and Pathology

Disease T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Phenotype / cell stem origin One case to date, a 6-year-old boy (Chinen et al., 2008).

Evolution Complete remission was obtained. An allogenic bone marrow transplantation was performed, and the patient had remained in complete remission for 17 months at the time of the report.

Cytogenetics

Additional anomalies A complex karyotype was found.

Genes involved and Proteins

Gene Name AFF3 (lymphoid nuclear protein related to AF4)

Location 2q11.2

Protein AFF3 belongs to a family of putative transcription factors also comprising AFF1 (AF4, FEL, MLLT2) in 4q21, AFF2 (FMR2, FRAXE) in Xq28 and AFF4 (AF5Q31) in 5q31. AFF3 has been found a susceptibility gene in autoimmune diseases, namely rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (Barton et al., 2009; Castelino and Barton, 2010; Hinks et al., 2010). AFF3 is deleted in Nievergelt syndrome, an autosomal dominant mesomelic dysplasia (Steichen-Gersdorf et al., 2008). AFF3 was also found expressed in 20% of mammary tumor cells but not in normal acini in a study (To et al., 2005).

Gene Name RUNX1 (runt-related transcription factor 1 (acute myeloid leukemia 1; aml1 oncogene))

Location 21q22.12

Protein Transcription factor (activator) for various hematopoietic-specific genes.

Result of the chromosomal anomaly

Hybrid gene
Description Fusion of RUNX1 exon 7 to AFF3 exon 8.
