| ICD-Morpho | 9837/3 T lymphoblastic leukaemia/lymphoma |
| Atlas_Id | 1262 |
| Clinics and Pathology |
| Disease | T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) |
| Epidemiology | Only one case to date, a 12 year old male patient. |
| Prognosis | Unknown. |
| Cytogenetics |
| Cytogenetics Morphological | A del(7q) was also present in the same clone. |
| Genes involved and Proteins |
| Note | The gene in 4q31 is yet unknown, and because cryptic t(12;21) ETV6 /AML1 are not rare, it is therefore uncertain whether this translocation involve a new AML1 partner. |
| Gene Name | RUNX1 (runt-related transcription factor 1 (acute myeloid leukemia 1; aml1 oncogene)) |
| Location | 21q22.12 |
| Dna / Rna | Transcription is from telomere to centromere. |
| Protein | Contains a Runt domain and, in the C-term, a transactivation domain; forms heterodimers; widely expressed; nuclear localisation; transcription factor (activator) for various hematopoietic-specific genes. |
| To be noted |
| Additional cases are needed to delineate the epidemiology of this rare entity: you are welcome to submit a paper to our new Case Report section. |
