PAN3-PSMA2 fusion resulting from a novel t(7;13)(p14;q12) chromosome translocation in a myelodysplastic syndrome that evolved into acute myeloid leukemia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Acquired primary chromosomal changes in cancer are sometimes found as sole karyotypic abnormalities. They are specifically associated with particular types of neoplasia, essential in establishing the neoplasm, and they often lead to the generation of chimeric genes of pathogenetic, diagnostic, and prognostic importance. Thus, the report of new primary cancer-specific chromosomal aberrations is not only of scientific but also potentially of clinical interest, as is the detection of their gene-level consequences.

Case presentation

RNA-sequencing was performed on a bone marrow sample from a patient with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The karyotype was 46,XX,t(7;13)(p14;q12)[2]/46,XX[23]. The MDS later evolved into acute myeloid leukemia (AML) at which point the bone
