Homology

with AF17 and BR140

Implicated in

Entity name
Disease
mainly M4/M5 AML
Cytogenetics
Due to the opposite orientation of AF10 and MLL on their respective chromosome arms, MLL-AF10 gene fusion requires complex rearrangements with three or more breakpoints. An inversion of the 5MLL or 3AF10 is required in order to allow an in-frame MLL-AF10 fusion.
Hybrid gene
5 MLL - 3 AF10; breakpoints are at variable places along AF10
Fusion protein
The AF10 Ext-LAP/PHD is always deleted, as are the MLL PHD fingers. Both retain the C-term LZ domain necessary for malignant transformation.
Entity name
inv ins(10;11)(p12;q23q12)/AML -->KMT2A - MLLT10
Disease
One case of pediatric M5 AML
Hybrid gene
5 MLL - 3 AF10 and 5 AF10 - 3 HEAB, a gene at 11q12
Fusion protein
only MLL-AF10 is expressed
Entity name
t(10;11)(p13;q14-21)-->CALM-MLLT10 and/or AF10-CALM
Disease
Present both in myeloid and non myeloid acute leukemias: in T-cell ALL specific to TCRgd lineage; in myeloid leukemia described in FAB M0-AML, M1-AML, M5-AML, M7-AML.
Prognosis
poor
Cytogenetics
may well be confused with the above t(10;11)(p12;q23)
Hybrid gene
5 CALM - 3 AF10 and 5 AF10 - 3 CALM
In a 5 breakpoint cluster region (nucleotides 424 and 589), AF10 sequences retained the Ext-LAP/PHD domain. The presence of these kind of sequences seems to be necessary for maturation toward the TCRgd lineage, whereas their absence leads to maturation arrest at a more immature stage.
Fusion protein
both CALM-AF10 and the reciprocal AF10-CALM are expressed. However, the CALM-AF10 contains most of the functional domains present in each of the two proteins.

Breakpoints

Note

the breakpoint in the t(10;11)(p13;q14-21) is more in 5 of AF10
