| Clinics and Pathology |
| Disease | Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), M2 subtype. |
| Epidemiology | Only one case to date, a 76 year old male patient. |
| Prognosis | No data: the patient died, but no survival data was noted. |
| Cytogenetics |
| Additional anomalies | The t(12;21)(q12;q22) was the sole anomaly. |
| Genes involved and Proteins |
| Gene Name | CPNE8 (copine 8) |
| Location | 12q12 |
| Protein | CPNE8 is a member of the copines. Copines are highly conserved, widely expressed, calcium-dependent membrane binding proteins. They may have a role in membrane trafficking. and mediate cellular processes by conferring calcium regulation to various signaling pathways. Copine 8 is strongly expressed in brain, heart, and prostate, and expressed at low level in most other tissues. |
| Gene Name | RUNX1 (runt-related transcription factor 1 (acute myeloid leukemia 1; aml1 oncogene)) |
| Location | 21q22.12 |
| Protein | Contains a RUNT binding domain and a transactivation domain; forms heterodimers; nuclear localization; transcription factor; critical regulator of hematopoietic-cell development. |
| Result of the chromosomal anomaly |
| Description | 5' RUNX1 (including the DNA binding domain) broken after exon 6 and fused to intron 2 of CPNE8. However, fusion is out of frame, and termination occurs after 2 amino acids from CPNE8, producing a truncated RUNX1. |
| Description | The truncated RUNX1 includes the binding domain, but not the transactivation domain. |
| 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. |
