Clinics |
Age and sex : | 21 month(s) old female patient. |
Previous History : | no preleukemia |
no previous malignant disease | |
no inborn condition of note |
Organomegaly : no hepatomegaly ; no splenomegaly ; no enlarged lymph nodes ; no central nervous system involvement |
Blood |
WBC : 77.5 x 109/L ((N: 6-17.5)); Hb : 29 g/dL ((N: 105-135)); platelets : 69 (N: 150-450) x 109/L; blasts : 76 % . |
Bone marrow : Hypercellular marrow, with 93.7% blasts (small to middle-sized cells with large nucleus and minimal cytoplasm). |
Cyto pathology classification |
Phenotype : Pre-B acute lymphoblastic leukemia. |
Immunophenotype : cTDT, cCD79a, cIgM, CD19 and CD20 positive. |
Rearranged Ig Tcr : not performed. |
Precise diagnosis : Pre-B acute lymphoblastic leukemia. |
Survival |
Date of diagnosis: 01-2014 |
Treatment : Protocol AIEOP-BFM ALL 2009 high risk. |
Complete remission was obtained |
Treatment related death : - |
Relapse : - |
Status : Alive 12-2015 |
Survival : 23 month(s) |
Karyotype |
Sample : bone marrow. ; banding : G banding. |
Results : 46,XX,t(2;9)(q12-14;q34),add(5)(p14)[5]/46,sl,-7,+mar[2]/46,XX[3] |
Karyotype at relapse : not applicable. |
Other molecular cytogenetics technics : fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH) analysis using ETV6-RUNX1, 5'MLL-3'MLL, CEP4, CEP10, CEP17, 5'IGH-3'IGH, 3'TCF3-5'TCF3, BCR-ABL1. FISH experiments with BAC clones located in bands 2q12.1 to 2q14.2. |
Other molecular cytogenetics results : All negative, except for BCR-ABL1 with 3 ABL1 signals and 2 BCR signals. A split signal on der(2) and der(9) was found with RP11-622D1, RP11-347H10, RP11-259O12, RP11-348G16 and RP11-953L12. These BAC clones overlap the RANBP2 gene and allow refinement of the breakpoint to a 25kb region covering the 5' end and the first three exons of RANBP2. |
Other molecular studies |
technics : MLPA. |
results : Negative. |
![]() |
GTG banding showing chromosomes 2 and 9 and the derivatives der(2) and der(9). |
![]() |
FISH with BACs RP11-953L12 (spectrum green, located in 2q12 and containing RANBP2) and RP11-83J21 (spectrum orange, located in 9q34 and containing the 3' part of ABL1) and CEP9 (in aqua) showing one fusion signal on der(2). No fusion is detected on der(9) because RP11-83J21 does not cover the 5' part of ABL1. |

Comments |
We present here a unique case of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia. This fusion gene was identified in another case by RNA-sequencing (Roberts et al., 2012). |
