| Disease | Acute myelomonocytic leukemia (M4 ANLL) |
| Etiology | this leukemia case is likely to be treatment related (a lymphoma was treated 4 yrs previously) |
| Epidemiology | only one case to date: a 65 yr old female patient |
| Prognosis | no data |
| Genes involved and Proteins |
| Gene Name | PRRX2 |
| Location | 9q34 |
| Protein | class II homeobox gene |
| Gene Name | NUP98 |
| Location | 11p15.4 |
| Protein | nucleoporin 98, a 98 kDa component of the nuclear pore complex implicated in nucleo-cytoplasmic transport |
| Result of the chromosomal anomaly |
![]() | |
| Description | 5'--> exon 11 of NUP98 is fused in frame with PRRX2 exon 2 to 3' |
