Clinics and Pathology

Disease

myeloproliferative disorders (MPS), myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), and acute myeloid leukemia (AML)

Phenotype stem cell origin

M2, M4, M6 AML; trilineage involvement

Epidemiology

median age: 35 yrs; balanced sex ratio

Prognosis

CR: 8/12, but median survival is less than 1 yr

Cytogenetics

Cytogenetics morphological

The breakpoints (3q25 and 5q34) have been controversial for a long time.

Additional anomalies

most often none; +8

Genes Involved and Proteins

Gene name
MLF1 (myelodysplasia/myeloid leukemia factor 1)
Location
3q25.32
Protein description
31 KDa; widely expressed; cytoplasmic localisation; possible role in normal hematopoietic differentiation
Gene name
NPM1 (nucleophosmin)
Location
5q35.1
Protein description
nuclear localisation; binds to single and double strand nucleic acids; phosphoprotein that may transport ribonucleoproteins; may also have a role in DNA replication nuclear phosphoprotein; role in centrosome duplication and various relations with other proteins like p53, ARF, ... (numerous interations are under study).

Result of the Chromosomal Anomaly

Description

5 NPM-3 MLF1 on der(5)54 kDa with the 175 N-term Amino acids from NPM

Expression localisation

nucleus, mainly in the nucleolus
