Abstract | Abstract: Review on t(20;21)(q11;q22), with data on clinics, and the genes involved. |
Keywords | Chromosome 20; Chromosome 21; Acute myeloid leukemia; Chronic myelogenous leukaemia; RUNX1. NOL4L |
Identity |
ICD-Topo | C420,C421,C424 BLOOD, BONE MARROW, & HEMATOPOIETIC SYS |
ICD-Morpho | 9975/3 Chronic myelogenous leukaemia, BCR-ABL1 positive; Myeloproliferative neoplasm, unclassifiable; Myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasm, unclassifiable |
ICD-Morpho | 9873/3 AML without maturation |
ICD-Morpho | 9874/3 AML with maturation |
Atlas_Id | 1307 |
Clinics and Pathology |
Disease | Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) without maturation ( M1- AML) in one case, AML with maturation ( M2-AML) in one case; and blast crisis of myeloid type of chronic myelogenous leukaemia in two cases. |
Epidemiology | Four cases available to date; three with t(20;21)(q11;q22) RUNX1/? (Misawa et al. 1986; Dube et al., 1989; Jeandidier et al., 2006), and one case with proved t(20;21)(q11.2;q22.1) RUNX1/NOL4L (Guastadisegni et al. 2010). They were all male patients, aged aged 44, 57, 67, and 72 years. |
Cytogenetics |
Additional anomalies | No additional anomaly in one case, monosomy 5 and major karyotypic anomalies in one case, monosomy 7 in another case, and t(9;22)(q34;q11) in the remaining case. |
Genes involved and Proteins |
Gene Name | NOL4L (nucleolar protein 4 like) |
Location | 20q11.2 |
Dna / Rna | 11 exons |
Protein | Nothing is known concerning the domains of the protein, nor it's function. |
Gene Name | RUNX1 (runt-related transcription factor 1 (acute myeloid leukemia 1; aml1 oncogene)) |
Location | 21q22.12 |
Protein | RUNX1, also called AML1 or CBFA2, contains a Runt domain and, in the C-term, a transactivation domain, an inhibition domain, and various regulatory regions; forms heterodimers; widely expressed; nuclear localization. RUNX1 is a transcription factor, critical regulator of hematopoietic-cell development. It binds to the core site 5' PyGPyGGTPy 3' of promotors and enhancers. RUNX1 is involved in many de novo and treatment related leukemias. |
Result of the chromosomal anomaly |
Description | RUNX1 exon 6 was fused to NOL4L exon 8 in the case reported by Guastadisegni et al. 2010. |
Oncogenesis | Wild-type NOL4L was expressed at low levels in AML and normal bone marrow, whereas the RUNX1/NOL4L was expressed at high levels (Guastadisegni et al. 2010). |
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. |
