2008-12-01 Jean-Loup Huret Affiliation1.Genetics, Dept Medical Information, University of Poitiers; CHU Poitiers Hospital, F-86021 Poitiers, France
Clinics and Pathology
Disease
Chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia (CMML) in transformation into an acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) (Penas et al., 2003)
Epidemiology
Only 1 case to date, a 74-year-old male patient.
Prognosis
No data.
Cytogenetics
Cytogenetics morphological
Cryptic translocation: the karyotype suggested a del(12p) , and FISH analyses uncovered the translocation.
Additional anomalies
The translocation was the sole anomaly.
Genes Involved and Proteins
Gene name
ETV6 (ets variant 6)
Location
12p13.2
Protein description
ETV6 is composed of a HLH domain (pointed or sterile alpha motif (SAM) domain), responsible for dimerization and an ETS domain, responsible for sequence specific DNA-binding. Transcriptional regulator.
Gene name
PER1 (period circadian clock 1)
Location
17p13.1
Protein description
PER1 contains a bHLH and PAS region involved in dimerization. Transcriptional regulator.
Result of the Chromosomal Anomaly
Description
An ETV6-PER1 transcript was detected, joining exon 1 of ETV6 to Exon 22 of PER1; however, PER1 has an antisense orientation, and the sequence was ETV6 exon 1, PER1 exon 22, and part of PER1 exon 21. No reciprocal transcript.
