| 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 | 9920/3 Therapy-related myeloid neoplasms |
| ICD-Morpho | 9989/3 Myelodysplastic syndrome, unclassifiable |
| Atlas_Id | 1026 |
| Clinics and Pathology |
| Disease | myeloid lineage: (AML, MDS) |
| Phenotype / cell stem origin | M1, M2, and M4 AML; therapy related AML; MDS evolving towards AML; stem cell immunophenotype (DR+, CD34+, and CD15, 33 and/or 13 positive); trilineage dysplasia may be present; to be noted that M1 and M2 subtypes of AML have rarely been found associated with the classical MLL rearrangements |
| Epidemiology | frequency: 1% of AML and MDS as well; balanced sex ratio; found in adults; med age: 60 yrs |
| Prognosis | short CR; poor prognosis |
| Cytogenetics |
| Cytogenetics Morphological | +11 |
| Cytogenetics Molecular | partial(!) tandem duplication (in situ) of MLL, gene located in 11q23 |
| Additional anomalies | none (by that very fact) |
| Genes involved and Proteins |
| Gene Name | KMT2A (myeloid/lymphoid or mixed lineage leukemia) |
| Location | 11q23.3 |
| Dna / Rna | 21 exons, spanning over 100 kb; 13-15 kb mRNA |
| Protein | 431 kDa; contains two DNA binding motifs (a AT hook, and Zinc fingers), a DNA methyl transferase motif, a bromodomain ; wide expression; nuclear localisation; transcriptional regulatory factor |
| Result of the chromosomal anomaly |
| Description | exons 1 to 6 or 8 fused to a nearly entire MLL gene, starting at exon 2 (i.e. the duplicated segment is E2 to E6 or 8) |
| Description | AT hook and DNA methyltransferase from MLL in N-term fused to a quite entire MLL in C-term nuclear localisation probable altered transcriptional regulation |
| To be noted |
| such a tandem duplication of MLL may also be found in cases with a normal karyotype. |
