| Identity |
| ICD-Topo | C420,C421,C424 BLOOD, BONE MARROW, & HEMATOPOIETIC SYS |
| ICD-Morpho | 9861/3 AML with mutated NPM1; AML with mutated CEBPA; Acute myeloid leukaemia, NOS |
| ICD-Morpho | 9989/3 Myelodysplastic syndrome, unclassifiable |
| Atlas_Id | 1264 |
| Clinics and Pathology |
| Disease | refractory anemia with excess of blasts and M5- acute myeloid leukemia |
| Etiology | tretment of a non Hodgkin lymphoma 2 yrs before diagnosis in 1 case |
| Epidemiology | only 2 male patient cases, aged 38 yrs and 69 yrs |
| Cytogenetics |
| Cytogenetics Morphological | Complex karyotypes in 1 case, +10 in the other one |
| Genes involved and Proteins |
| Note | The gene in 20q13 is yet unknown, and, because cryptic t(12;21) ETV6 /AML1 are not rare, it is therefore uncertain whether this translocation involve a new AML1 partner |
| Gene Name | RUNX1 (runt-related transcription factor 1 (acute myeloid leukemia 1; aml1 oncogene)) |
| Location | 21q22.12 |
| Dna / Rna | transcription is from telomere to centromere |
| Protein | contains a Runt domain and, in the C-term, a transactivation domain; forms heterodimers; widely expressed; nuclear localisation; transcription factor (activator) for various hematopoietic-specific genes |
| 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. |
