<span style="color:#0070C0">(General Instructions – The focus of these pages is the clinically significant genetic alterations in each disease type. This is based on up-to-date knowledge from multiple resources such as PubMed and the WHO classification books. The CCGA is meant to be a supplemental resource to the WHO classification books; the CCGA captures in a continually updated wiki-stye manner the current genetics/genomics knowledge of each disease, which evolves more rapidly than books can be revised and published. If the same disease is described in multiple WHO classification books, the genetics-related information for that disease will be consolidated into a single main page that has this template (other pages would only contain a link to this main page). Use [https://www.genenames.org/ <u>HUGO-approved gene names and symbols</u>] (italicized when appropriate), [https://varnomen.hgvs.org/ <u>HGVS-based nomenclature for variants</u>], as well as generic names of drugs and testing platforms or assays if applicable. Please complete tables whenever possible and do not delete them (add N/A if not applicable in the table and delete the examples); to add (or move) a row or column in a table, click nearby within the table and select the > symbol that appears. Please do not delete or alter the section headings. The use of bullet points alongside short blocks of text rather than only large paragraphs is encouraged. Additional instructions below in italicized blue text should not be included in the final page content. Please also see </span><u>[[Author_Instructions]]</u><span style="color:#0070C0"> and [[Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)|<u>FAQs</u>]] as well as contact your [[Leadership|<u>Associate Editor</u>]] or [mailto:CCGA@cancergenomics.org <u>Technical Support</u>].)</span>

The t(9;22) is diagnostic of CML in the appropriate morphology and clinical context (add reference). This fusion is responsive to targeted therapy such as Imatinib (Gleevec) (add reference). BCR::ABL1 is generally favorable in CML (add reference).

|<span class="blue-text">EXAMPLE:</span> Typically, the last exon of ''CIC'' is fused to ''DUX4''. The fusion breakpoint in ''CIC'' is usually intra-exonic and removes an inhibitory sequence, upregulating ''PEA3'' genes downstream of ''CIC'' including ''ETV1'', ''ETV4'', and ''ETV5''.

''DUX4'' has many homologous genes; an alternate translocation in a minority of cases is t(10;19), but this is usually indistinguishable from t(4;19) by short-read sequencing (add references).

The most common ''ALK'' fusion is ''EML4::ALK'', with breakpoints in intron 19 of ''ALK''. At the transcript level, a variable (5’) partner gene is fused to 3’ ''ALK'' at exon 20. Rarely, ''ALK'' fusions contain exon 19 due to breakpoints in intron 18.

RBM15 and MKL1 RBM15(OTT)::MKL1(MAL) The majority of both genes are retained in the fusion, specifically 5’ DEK and 3’NUP214(CAN), with the pathogenic derivative being the der(22). t(1;22)(p13.3;q13.1) Rare (AML) D Yes (WHO)
  • This AML subtype is characterized by megakaryocytic differentiation and is classified based on the presence by karyotype of a t(1;22)(p13.3;q13.1) or molecular confirmation of fusion of RBM15(OTT) at 1p13.3 [hg38] and MKL1(MAL) at 22q13.1 [hg38] with variable breakpoints[1][2][3]. Although both reciprocal fusions are expressed, the in-frame RBM15::MKL1 fusion on the derivative chromosome 22 is the candidate oncoprotein because it contains all of the putative functional domains of both proteins[1].
  • The RBM15::MKL1 fusion typically presents as the sole abnormality[2]. A hyperdiploid karyotype with t(1;22) and +der(1)t(1;22) can be observed less frequently, typically in infants aged >6 months[4]. Pediatric non-Down syndrome AMKL can arise through other genetic mechanisms that are unrelated to the RBM15::MKL1 fusion[5][6].
  • The t(1;22) occurs in <1% of all AML cases and 10-12% of pediatric acute megakaryoblastic leukemia cases[5]. It is most frequent in infants (<6 months old) and young children (<3 years old) with Down syndrome and has a female predominance. Rarely it occurs in adults[7][8].
  • Translocation-confirmed cases with <20% blasts on aspirate smears should be correlated with the biopsy to exclude an artificially low count due to marrow fibrosis, and then if the blasts remain low, followed closely to monitor for development of more definitive evidence for AML (such as the occurrence of extramedullary disease or myeloid sarcoma)[2].
  • Two retrospective studies in 2015 and 2016 of non-Down syndrome pediatric AMKL patients found that the RBM15::MKL1 fusion was present in 12% and 13.7% of cases, was associated with significantly younger onset, and was considered to have a relative risk classification of intermediate or standard[5][9]. However, the majority of studies showed this to be a high-risk disease compared with pediatric AMKL without t(1;22). Careful supportive care is likely required to prevent early death related to intensive chemotherapy[10], especially considering the very young age of patients with this AML subtype; differences in such care may cause the lack of prognostic consistency[9]. Presence of a hyperdiploid karyotype in pediatric AMKL, including the cases harboring another cytogenetic or molecular aberration, was an independent good prognostic factor for EFS but not for RFS or OS[5].

Genes and Main Pathways Involved

  • The molecular mechanism is not completely understood, but the fusion protein may modulate chromatin organization, HOX-induced differentiation and extracellular signaling pathways associated with leukemogenesis[11]. The fusion of MKL1 to RBM15 deregulates the normal intracellular localization of MKL1 such that it is becomes constitutively localized to the nucleus, resulting in serum response factor (SRF) activation even in the absence of stimuli[12]. SRF is a transcription factor that regulates the expression of genes involved in cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation, as well as genes that control the actin cytoskeleton[13]. Of note, while a RBM15::MKL1 fusion knock-in model mouse showed abnormal megakaryopoiesis, it was not sufficient to induce leukemia[14].
