| Clinics and Pathology |
| Disease | Acute myelogenous leukemia, Therapy-related MDS (RAEB, RAEB-t) |
| Phenotype / cell stem origin | myeloid, positive for CD34, 33, 13, HLA-DR. |
| Etiology | either therapy-related or de novo |
 | |
| Table 1 | |
 | |
| Leukemic cells have characteristics of type II myeloblasts with numerous granules. Several large nucleoli are seen in nuclei.(Wright-Giemmsa staining)(x 1,000) | |
| Genes involved and Proteins |
| Gene Name | NUP98 (nucleoporin 98 kDa) |
| Location | 11p15.4 |
| Note | The NUP98 gene is fused to a number of genes through chromosomal translocation. The breakpoints in NUP98 gene span six introns (intron 9-14). Of particular notice, one type of translocation occurs in a specific intron. As for t(11;20), all four cases have the breakpoint in intron 13 of NUP98 gene. |
 | |
| Gene Name | TOP1 (topoisomerase (DNA) 1) |
| Location | 20q12 |
 | |
| Protein | Topoisomerase 1 is a ca.100 kDa protein with 765 amino acids; contains NLS in the N-term, a core domain which recognizes its binding sequences, a link domain which connects the core and catalytic domains, and the catalytic domain in the C-term. |
| Result of the chromosomal anomaly |
 | |
| Structural diagrams of NUP98, TOP1, and fused chimeras. Fused protein has N-terminal of NUP98, which contains two FG repeats, and the core, link and catalytic domains of TOP1. Gene product of TOP1/NUP98 (150kD) has been demonstrated, but the fused protein of TOP1/NUP98 has not been examined. | |
| Oncogenesis | NUP98-TOP1 fusion protein has been proved to be leukemogenic in mice. |
| 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. Primer sets for RT-PCR and genomic PCR have been published in References. | |
