Molecular characterization of AML with ins(21;8)(q22;q22q22) reveals similarity to t(8;21) AML


ABSTRACT: In acute myeloid leukemia (AML) non-random clonal chromosome aberrations are detectable in ~55% of adults with AML. Translocation t(8;21)(q22;q22) resulting in the 5'RUNX1/3'RUNX1T1 fusion gene occurs in ~8% of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cases. Also, insertions ins(8;21) and ins(21;8) have been described that show a broad heterogeneity at the molecular level with inserted fragment sizes ranging from 2.4 to 44 Mb. Microarray-based comparative genomic hybridization (arrayCGH) in 49 intermediate-risk AML and RT-PCR-based screening in 532 AML cases allowed the detection of ins(21;8)/ins(8;21) in three cases; arrayCGH and subsequent RT-PCR revealed an ~0.5 Mb sized inserted fragment generating the 5'RUNX1/3'RUNX1T1 fusion gene in one case with a submicroscopic ins(21;8)(q22;q22q22) whereas the other two cases were identified by banding analysis and RT-PCR, respectively. Gene expression profiling (GEP) and a detailed review of the literature highlighted similar biological features of AML cases with ins(21;8)/ins(8;21) and t(8;21)(q22;q22). Our study demonstrates the potential of high-resolution array-based analysis and GEP and provides further evidence that AML with insertions generating the 5'RUNX1/3'RUNX1T1 fusion not only biologically resemble the t(8;21)(q22;q22) AML subgroup, but might also share their prognostically favorable clinical behavior. Thus, similar treatment options should be considered in these patients.
