Abstract | Rare translocation. Because of its rarity, the clinical significance of der(17)t(17;17)(p13;q12-21) is unknown. |
Keywords | Unbalanced rearrangements, der(17)t(17;17)(p13;q12-21), myeloid malignancies, genomic unbalances. |

Partial karyotypes (A) and karyotype showing the unbalanced rearrangement between chromosomes 17 (B). Fluorescence in situ hybridization with LSI ATM/P53 probe (Abott Molecular/Vysis, US) showing the presence of P53 gene on normal and der(17) chromosomes (A). Hybridization with LSI RARA break-apart probes revealed 3 copies of the gene, confirming the extra 17q on derivative chromosome 17 (B). | |
Clinics and Pathology |
Disease | Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) |
Phenotype / cell stem origin | 1 acute myeloid leukemia (Huh et al., 2016), 1 chronic myeloid leukemia (Barbouti et al., 2002) and the present patient diagnosed with T-ALL after 2 years of lentiviral hematopoietic stem cell gene therapy for Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (Zamecnikova, unpublished data). In addition, there was an acute myelomonocytic leukemia (AML-M4) patient with der(17)t(17;17)(p13;q2?1) breakpoints (Larson et al., 1986). |
Epidemiology | Only 4 cases, to date, 3 male patients, aged 60, 76 and years and the present 14 years old female patient with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome. |
Cytogenetics |
Cytogenetics Morphological | Presents as 1 normal chromosome 17 and a der(17)t(17;17) chromosome. |
Additional anomalies | Sole anomaly in the present patient; found in association with +6 and 15-100dmin in AML, as an additional anomaly to -Y, t(9;22)(q34;q11) in CML and to inv(16)(p13q22),+22 in CC: TXT: AML-M4 ID: 1506>. |
Genes involved and Proteins |
Note | The involvement of RARA and the presence/deletion of TP53 from 17p13.1 was not tested in described cases. |
Result of the chromosomal anomaly |
Oncogenesis | The unbalanced der(17)t(17;17)(p13;q12-21) has been found mainly as an additional aberration to known primary anomalies, therefore it is probably involved in disease evolution. The formation of the unbalanced der(17)t(17;17)(p13;q12-21) results in partial trisomy of the long arm of chromosome 17 leading to trisomies of genes located on 17q. Potential candidate genes on 17q include RARA, NF1, CSF3 (G-CSF), MPO, ERBB2 and miRNAs. Extra copies of these genes may lead to alterations of gene expression that may play roles during disease development or progression. |
