| Note | At least three other translocation t(11;19) involve KMT2A: the t(11;19)(q23;p13.1) KMT2A/ELL, the t(11;19)(q23;p13.3) KMT2A/MLLT1, and the t(11;19)(q23;p13.3) KMT2A/ACER1. |
| Clinics and Pathology |
| Epidemiology | Only one case to date, a 22-month-old girl with a diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia not otherwise specified (So et al., 1997). |
| Genes involved and Proteins |
| Gene Name | KMT2A (myeloid/lymphoid or mixed lineage leukemia) |
| Location | 11q23.3 |
| Protein | KMT2A is better known as MLL. MLL is a transcriptional regulatory factor. MLL regulates chromatin-mediated transcription. MLL is a major regulator of hematopoesis and embryonic development, through regulation of HOX genes expression. Translocations involving MLL are associated with high-risk de novo or treatment-related acute myeloid leukemias and myelodysplastic syndromes and acute lymphoblastic leukemias (review in Huret, 2006). Mutations in MLL cause Wiedemann-Steiner syndrome (Jones et al., 2012). |
| Gene Name | SH3GL1 (extra eleven nineteen leukemia fusion gene) |
| Location | 19p13.3 |
| Note | The gene has previously been named EEN. |
| Protein | The protein, named endophilin-A2, is made of 368 amino acids (aa) in isoform 1. From N-term to C-term, it contains a Bin/Amphiphysin/Rvs (BAR) domain (aa 18-249), involved in curvature of the cell membrane, a coiled-coil domain (protein-protein interactions, aa 119-227), and a SH3 domain (protein-protein interactions, aa 306-365). Endophilin-A2 is involved in clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Endophilin-A2 facilitates G1/S cell cycle transition of multiple myeloma cells (Huang et al., 2014). |
| Result of the chromosomal anomaly |
| Description | 5' KMT2A - 3' SH3GL1. KMT2A exon 6 was fused to SH3GL1 exon 2. |
| Description | 1564 amino acids (1212 from KMT2A, and 352 from SH3GL1). The fusion protein retains the AT hooks (DNA binding) and the Zinc finger CXXC-type from KMT2A fused to most of SH3GL1, including the BAR domain and the SH3 domain. |
| Oncogenesis | KMT2A/SH3GL1 is localized in the nucleus, while SH3GL1 is located in the cytoplasm. KMT2A/SH3GL1 may drive to aberrant transcriptional regulation. KMT2A/SH3GL1 increases HOXA7 promoter activity (Liu et al., 2004). |
| 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. |
