Clinics and Pathology

Disease

T-cell acute lymphoid leukemia (T-ALL)

Epidemiology

One case to date, a 9-year-old boy.

Evolution

Remission was obtained and the patient remains in complete remission 28 months after diagnosis.

Genes Involved and Proteins

Gene name
NUP98 (nucleoporin 98 kDa)
Location
11p15.4
Protein description
Nucleoporin: associated with the nuclear pore complex. Role in nucleocytoplasmic transport processes.
Gene name
SETBP1 (SET binding protein 1)
Location
18q12.3
Protein description
Contains 3 DNA binding domains (A.T hooks). SETBP1 protects SET from protease cleavage. SETBP1 forms a complex with SET and PP2A (protein phosphatase 2A). SETBP1 impairs PP2A activity via SET and promotes proliferation of acute myeloid leukemia cells (Cristóbal et al., 2010).
Germinal mutations
In Schinzel-Giedion midface retraction syndrome.

Result of the Chromosomal Anomaly

Description

5 NUP98 - 3 SETBP1

Transcript

Exon 12 of NUP98 (nucleotide (nt) 1552) fused in-frame with exon 5 of SETBP1 (nt 4015).
